A 6-year-old otherwise healthy girl presented with a Wassel VI duplication of the left thumb metacarpal and triphalangeal radial and ulnar thumbs. The patient underwent successful thumb reconstruction by transposition of the distal ulnar thumb onto the radial thumb metacarpal. To the best of our knowledge, this case report represents the first published anatomical dissection and surgical reconstruction of a Wassel VI duplication with triphalangeal radial and ulnar thumbs.

Angular hypertrophied epiphysis of the thumb distal phalanx in radial polydactyly.
J Hand Surg Eur Vol

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
In a series of 271 consecutive duplicated thumbs, an angular, hypertrophied epiphysis was detected in 13 thumbs. We propose a revised version of the radial polydactyly classification that includes this pattern as a separate type from triphalangeal thumb.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphologic and radiographic characteristics of the triphalangeal thumb (TPT) in patients with congenital thumb duplication.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 368 children with TPT duplication (n = 383). Data on age, sex, and laterality were obtained from medical records.

Fanconi Anaemia is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterised by progressive pancytopenia, café au lait spots (>50%), bruising, petechie, recurrent infections, short height (50%), and thumb and radial bone anomalies (40%). Herein, is presented a case of a lean emaciated female child, who presented with the chief complaints of fever, loose stools and decreased appetite for one month reported at Sindh Government General Hospital, Karachi, on February, 1, 2023. She had cutaneous findings of hyperpigmentation and café au lait spots and a tri-phalangeal thumb.

In this report, we present the combination of on-top plasty with a modified Bilhaut-Cloquet procedure for treating atypical radial polydactyly with duplication at the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint and triphalangism of the radial and ulnar phalanges, hypoplastic middle phalanx of the radial thumb, and hypoplastic phalanx base of the ulnar thumb. To preserve the stable MP and interphalangeal joints of the radial and ulnar thumbs, respectively, on-top plasty involved osteotomizing the middle phalanx and transferring the distal end of the middle phalanx of the ulnar finger to the phalanx base of the radial thumb. A modified Bilhaut-Cloquet procedure was used to combine the tips and nails of both thumbs.

Introduction: The localization of the perforator artery for the performance of digital artery perforator (DAP) flaps poses a challenge. This study aims to describe the anatomical pattern of the perforator arteries originating from the proper digital artery in fresh cadaveric triphalangeal digits and to use this pattern as a point of reference for performing these flaps.
Material And Method: We performed a descriptive anatomical study on 28 fresh cadaveric hands (14 male, 14 female; 10 right hands, 18 left hands) after injecting the arterial system with latex.
