    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Clinical Genetics
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital thumb deformities encompass a spectrum of anomalies affecting hand development.
    • These deformities can be indicative of underlying genetic syndromes, making accurate diagnosis crucial.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation and inheritance patterns is essential for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive review of congenital thumb deformities.
    • To outline the clinical presentation, inheritance patterns, and associated abnormalities.
    • To establish clear indications for surgical intervention in affected individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of congenital thumb deformities.
    • Analysis of clinical features, genetic inheritance, and associated conditions.

  • Evaluation of surgical treatment indications.

    • Main Results:

    • Congenital thumb deformities present diverse clinical problems.
    • Specific inheritance patterns are associated with different thumb anomalies.
    • The thumb's condition is often a key diagnostic marker for rare syndromes.
    • A classification system is proposed for easier identification: inadequate, fingerlike, contracted, crooked, extra, and unusual thumbs.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate classification of congenital thumb deformities is vital for diagnosis and management.
    • Early identification and appropriate surgical treatment can improve functional outcomes.
    • This review serves as a guide for pediatricians, family doctors, and hand surgeons.
