The document discusses the use of the Snow and Littler procedure for managing cleft hand deformities. It provides background on classifications of cleft hands and discusses goals of surgical management, which include releasing syndactyly and thumb adduction deformities. The Red Cross Hospital experience from 2003-2007 is described, where 20 cleft hands were treated, including 6 with the Snow and Littler procedure.
