This study reviews 44 cases of polydactyly, primarily affecting the thumb and little finger. Surgical outcomes for this common congenital hand difference were analyzed for aesthetic and functional improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Congenital Malformations

Context:

  • Experience from a plastic surgery unit at Kassab's Institute of Orthopedics in Tunis.
  • Analysis of 44 cases of polydactyly, a congenital condition involving extra digits.

Purpose:

  • To report on the surgical management and outcomes of polydactyly.
  • To review the literature and analyze aesthetic and functional results of polydactyly treatment.

Summary:

  • The series included 44 cases of polydactyly, predominantly affecting the thumb and little finger, with a slight male predominance.
  • Observed types included simple (rudimentary digits) and complex (bone malformation, syndactyly) polydactyly. Ulnar polydactyly cases often showed associated toe duplication.
  • Surgical approaches involved amputation of the more dystrophic digit, reconstruction, and correction of other malformations; digital redistribution was also performed.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the surgical management of polydactyly, a common congenital hand difference.
  • Offers an objective analysis of aesthetic and functional outcomes, contributing to treatment optimization.
  • Highlights the frequent association of ulnar polydactyly with lower limb anomalies, suggesting a need for comprehensive assessment.
