Radial Polydactyly. What's New?

Background: Thumb duplication, also called radial or preaxial polydactyly, is classified as an alteration of the radio-ulnar axis in the formation and differentiation of the hand plate, according to the Oberg, Manske and Tonkin classification.

Objective: Radial polydactyly is a common upper limb malformation. This paper is a comprehensive analysis of radial polydactyly, its genetic explanation, classification, surgical techniques, functional results, as well as present and future scientific evidence on this congenital pathology.

Surgical Techniques for Displaced Radial Neck Fractures: Predictive Factors of Functional Results.

Background: Fractures of the radial neck represent about 1% of all childhood fractures and 5% to 10% of childhood traumatic lesions involving the elbow. Management of these fractures in children is still controversial. Intramedullary percutaneous nail reduction (Métaizeau technique) is considered the most effective surgical technique because of its excellent results and easy learning curve.

Prognostic value of age and Wassel classification in the reconstruction of thumb duplication.

Background: Various surgical techniques for thumb duplication have been described. The main goal in thumb reconstruction is to achieve optimal function, stability, and shape. Few publications have quantified the functional results of each surgical option and factors that may affect these outcomes.
