Pollicisation: our techniques
Pollicization remains one of the most useful surgeries in the field of hand surgery as it involves creation of a new thumb which contributes to 40 percent of hand function. It involves transfer of one of the fingers to create a new functioning thumb when it is absent. The surgery demands an intelligent use of skin flaps, osteotomy and muscle balancing to create an almost normal looking aestheti...
متن کاملPrimary Pollicisation of an Injured Middle Finger.
A man aged fifty mangled his non-dominant left hand in a spinning machine (Fig. 1). At the time of primary operation the condition of the hand was as follows. The thumb had been severed through the base of the proximal phalanx. The index finger had been severed through the proximal part of the shaft of the metacarpal; the palmar skin remained but was not viable. The middlefinger had a compound ...
متن کاملVideo-assisted functional assessment of index pollicisation in congenital anomalies
PURPOSE Functional results of index pollicisation are usually assessed by the clinical score of Percival. This score is based on elementary hand movements and does not reflect the function of the neo thumb in daily life activities. The aim of this study was to develop a new video-assisted scoring system based on daily life activities to assess index pollicisation functional outcomes. METHODS ...
متن کاملResults of pollicisation: what works and what doesn’t
The aim of pollicisation is to provide a strong, stable and mobile thumb of optimal size and shape. The controlling factors are the quality of the index finger, the quality of the adjacent digits and the stability and mobility of the wrist, all of which will be compromised by hypoplasia of bones, joints and soft tissues. However, even a stiff, bent, hypoplastic index finger accompanying a forea...
متن کاملMirror Hand: An Uncommon Neglected Case Managed with Pollicisation
Mirror hand or ulnar dimelia is a very rare congenital anomaly characterized by symmetric duplication of the upper limb in the midline. In most cases there is mirrored symmetry with a central digit and 3 digits on either side representing the middle ring and small fingers. The thumb is absent despite presence of seven digits. There is duplication of ulna and absence of radius. The preaxial ulna...
