Dear Editor,

We would like to thank Ekrem Solmaz and his colleagues for their interest in our publication and are pleased to have the opportunity to correct mistakes that unfortunately occurred during the tabulation of different studies. With reference to Table no. 1 of our study, we would like to correct the description of methodology and findings of the study done by Solmaz et al.1, mentioned in Table 1, which highlighted incidences of incomplete type of superficial palmar arch (SPA)2. They studied the type of SPA and their variations in 80 upper extremities of formalin-fixed human fetuses. The most frequent type of SPA encountered was the complete type (72.5%). Type A (47.5%) was the most common type in the complete group, and type A (15%) was also observed to be the most common type in the incomplete group1.
