The distribution in the lower extremities' plantar nerves and the upper extremity's median nerve is most commonly observed. This abnormality is congenital and typically manifests at birth or during the neonatal stage.

Article Synopsis
- Macrodactyly is a rare condition where a finger (digit) grows larger than normal, making up less than 1% of congenital hand issues.
- A case study of a 49-year-old woman showed that after surgery to reduce tissue and release pressure on nerves, there was no significant growth in the affected area over 6 years.
- The findings emphasize that tissue overgrowth can worsen with age, and surgical intervention, particularly median nerve neurotomy, is important to minimize the chance of deformity returning.
