چکیده
Radial polydactyly, the most common digital duplication in Asian and white populations, has a wide range of manifestations. Its classification is useful for planning and assessing surgical treatment. Our patient had four thumbs, duplicated radial carpal bones, and a bifurcated radius. This presentation is not covered by any of the current classifications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of such characteristics reported to date. Consequently, we propose some modifications in the nomenclature and classification of radial polydactyly.

Preaxial polydactyly is the most common duplication pattern in white and Asian populations (1). It is a congenital anomaly with a wide range of manifestations .Current classification do not have the capacity to classify all different types of radial polydactyly. We describe here a very rare and unusual case of bilateral preaxial polydactyly (triplication) in a woman and report the operations re...

متن کاملPathogenesis of preaxial polydactyly of the hand in human embryos.
Hand plates with preaxial polydactyly from 13 human embryos of the Carnegie stages 17-23 were examined macro- and microscopically. Morphological features in early pathogenesis of preaxial polydactyly are (1) an abnormal extension and a delayed involution of the apical ectodermal ridge on the preaxial border of the hand plate in stages 17 and 18, (2) a precocious development of an interdigital n...
