Summary
Revisional surgery for macrodactyly requires flexible approaches, especially after prior operations. Three-dimensional computed tomography aids surgical planning for complex osseous irregularities, aiming for functional and cosmetic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Macrodactyly is a congenital condition characterized by enlarged digits.
- This deformity can present complex challenges, potentially progressing even after initial surgical intervention.
- Osseous irregularities are common in macrodactyly, complicating surgical management.
