    Pseudo-ulnar pollicisation offers a solution for thumb reconstruction when standard pollicisation is not feasible. This technique improves both function and cosmetic outcomes in rare thumb aplasia cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Congenital hand differences

    Context:

    • Thumb aplasia or hypoplasia presents unique surgical challenges.
    • Standard pollicisation may be contraindicated due to radial digit abnormalities or established ulnar prehension patterns.
    • Ulnar pollicisation, while functional, can yield suboptimal cosmetic results.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a novel surgical technique, pseudo-ulnar pollicisation via supination osteotomy.
    • To address the limitations of traditional pollicisation in specific thumb aplasia scenarios.
    • To achieve both functional restoration and improved cosmesis.

    Summary:

    • Pseudo-ulnar pollicisation involves rotation of the fifth ray and creation of an enhanced web space between the ulnar digits.
    • This technique aims to provide functional thumb reconstruction with a satisfactory cosmetic appearance.

  • The procedure was evaluated in five preliminary cases with an 18-month minimum follow-up.

    • Impact:

    • Provides an alternative surgical option for complex thumb hypoplasia cases.
    • Potentially improves patient satisfaction by addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns.
    • Contributes to the understanding and management of congenital hand differences.
