Abstract:
Background: The clinical presentation of radial polydactyly can vary greatly. Careful planning and appreciation of the anatomic subtleties provides alternative surgical options to improve patient outcomes. Methods: We present a case of a well-formed accessory web space thumb and a hypoplastic primary thumb. Results: Rather than excising the accessory digit, we performed a spare-part, on-top-plasty reconstruction to replace the diminutive distal phalanx of the primary thumb. Conclusions: This novel case applied the principle of spare-part surgery to reconstruct a more aesthetic and functional reconstructed digit.

Radial System Protection
In a radial system with a fault downstream of the third breaker, ideally, only the third breaker will open, isolating the fault and interrupting the load connected beyond it. The second breaker has a longer delay setting,...

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
