Treatment of preaxial polydactyly
Hand Clin.
1992 Feb.
Abstract
Preaxial polydactyly is the result of aberrant bifurcation of the embryonic preaxial anlage. Effective reconstruction of thumb duplication requires careful evaluation of all components. Skin, nail, bone, ligament, and musculoskeletal elements must be combined to reconstruct an optimal digit.
