Contrast arthrography revealed three joint involvement patterns in duplicated thumbs. Findings aid in understanding thumb duplication and associated joint abnormalities for better treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Thumb duplication is a common congenital hand anomaly.
  • Understanding joint involvement is crucial for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize joint alterations in duplicated thumbs using contrast arthrography.
  • To classify patterns of joint involvement in thumb duplication.

Main Methods:

  • Contrast arthrography was performed on 20 patients with duplicated thumbs.
  • Radiographic assessment of interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, and carpometacarpal joints.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct groups of joint involvement were identified.
  • Group 1: No joint alteration. Group 2: Joint involvement with separate articular impressions. Group 3: Abnormal duplex joints.

Conclusions:

  • Contrast arthrography effectively delineates joint involvement in duplicated thumbs.
  • Classification of joint patterns aids in diagnosis and management of thumb duplication.
