It can cause arthralgias and weakness in intrinsic muscles of the hand. We present a young woman who had a surgically corrected mirror hand and subsequently developed aggressive rheumatoid arthritis, which increased her limitations to a significant degree. Early diagnosis and treatment in such cases is very important to prevent long-term disability.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/2/bcr-2018-227739}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/2/bcr-2018-227739.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Case Reports CP} }
