Describe in detail the anomaly known as "lobster claw". | abnormal cleft between the 2nd and 4th metarcarpals and soft tissues, 3rd metacarpals and phalange are usually absent, thumb, and index finger can be fused. |

Specifically, what is the embryonic cause of a) cleft sternum b) supernumerary rib | a) failure of sternal bands to fuse b)overdevelopment of costal process (in area other than thoracic) leading to an increased number of ribs (C7 or L1) |
