Abstract:
A case is reported of length discrepancy between the two thumbs in a 12-year-old girl following trauma to her left thumb twice before the age of 3 years. The distal phalanx of the left thumb overgrew by 5 mm. There was no functional disability and surgery was requested to improve the appearance.
