    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Clinical Genetics

    Background:

    • Preaxial polydactyly is a congenital limb malformation.
    • Understanding its genetic basis and surgical management is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A case of preaxial polydactyly requiring surgical correction was detailed.
    • The patient's family history revealed autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance.

    Findings:

    • Surgical correction was successfully performed with satisfactory outcomes.
    • Literature review on surgical management and complications was conducted.
    • The genetic transmission pattern in the family was analyzed.

    Implications:

    • Genetic counseling is recommended for families with autosomal dominant preaxial polydactyly.
    • Successful surgical outcomes can be achieved for preaxial polydactyly.
    • Further research into the genetic mechanisms of polydactyly is warranted.
