This study presents a rare triplicated thumb anomaly, detailing its surgical treatment and successful outcomes. The patient achieved good motor function and aesthetic results after surgical correction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Polydactyly is a common congenital anomaly, with thumb involvement being less frequent.
  • Wassel's classification system categorizes thumb polydactyly based on the location of the duplication.
  • Surgical correction aims to restore function and improve aesthetics in affected digits.

Observation:

  • A rare case of thumb polydactyly with three nails, two metacarpals, and seven phalanges was observed.
  • This specific anomaly was identified as a triplicated thumb.
  • The patient's condition was evaluated within the framework of Wassel's classification.

Findings:

  • The triplicated thumb was surgically treated following established principles for polydactyly.
  • Post-operative assessment revealed good restoration of motor function.

  • The aesthetic outcome was deemed acceptable.

    • Implications:

    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare thumb polydactyly variations.
    • Effective surgical management can lead to favorable functional and aesthetic results in complex polydactyly.
    • Further documentation of such anomalies aids in refining classification and treatment strategies.
