    • Pediatric Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Hypoplastic thumb is a congenital hand deformity.
    • Accurate classification aids surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a classification system for hypoplastic thumb deformities.
    • To highlight the importance of classification in surgical decision-making.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of eight types of hypoplastic thumb deformities.
    • Description of classification criteria.

    Main Results:

    • Established an eight-type classification for hypoplastic thumb.
    • Demonstrated the link between classification and surgical approach.

    Conclusions:

    • A standardized classification system is essential for hypoplastic thumb.
    • Tailored surgical reconstruction improves outcomes for congenital thumb anomalies.
