Macrodactyly. A review with a case report

Macrodactyly is an unsightly congenital abnormality of a digit (of the hand or foot) usually requiring multiple surgical procedures. A poor cosmetic result (usually more acceptable than the original finger, but still aesthetically unsatisfactory) is often the outcome. The surgical procedures which may be utilized for this problem are numerous, ranging from ablation of the digit as a primary surgical procedure to numerous defatting procedures combined with other techniques.
