Abstract:
We report on a three-year-old girl with a severely enlarged right ring finger, which was diagnosed as macrodactyly simplex congenita. This was treated by epiphysial resection and osteosynthesis of the distal interphalangeal joint, longitudinal and transverse osteotomy of the phalanges, and soft tissue coverage using palmar proximal and dorsal distal flaps taken from the original oversised finger.
