    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Congenital abnormalities
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies of the hand are diverse, affecting bone and soft tissue development.
    • Nail hypoplasia or absence can be associated with underlying skeletal defects.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with congenital absence of bilateral thumb nails.
    • Associated physical examination findings included the absence of the distal phalanges of both thumbs.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates a rare presentation of congenital thumb nail and distal phalanx aplasia.
    • Review of literature indicates limited documented cases of this specific combined anomaly.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these rare congenital hand anomalies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.
  • Further research into the embryological basis of these conditions may inform future treatment strategies.
