triphalangeal thumb is characterized by the interposition of an extra-phalanx between two normal ones. in this article the authors present the case of a 24-year-old man with bilateral triphalangeal thumb of opposable type, without any other associated anomaly or genetic syndrome. the patient had triangular delta extra-phalanxes that caused ulnar deviation of both thumbs. surgical procedure for ...

The condition known as delta phalanx (or longitudinally bracketed epiphysis) is a rare congenital anomaly first described in 1964. The deformity consists of a triangular bone with an epiphysis running along the shortened side of the phalanx in a proximal to distal direction, making longitudinal growth of the digit impossible. Isolated hallux varus congenitus due to a delta phalanx of the proxim...

We report a case of Klinefelter's syndrome owing to maternal meiotic error associated with triphalangeal thumb and delta phalanx bilaterally. There are no previous reports of similar cases and triphalangism with delta phalanx abnormalities of both thumbs might therefore be considered a further, but rare, manifestation of this aneuploidy.

Resection of the midzone of the continuous epiphysis of a delta phalanx (physiolysis) and its replacement by a free-fat graft from local tissue was performed to improve severe radial angulation of the both thumbs in a 22-month-old child with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. Fifty-two months after surgery, satisfactory results were obtained for pinch function, appearance, and radiographic findings. Pr...

Angular deformity of the thumb is most often caused by a delta phalanx or a longitudinally bracheted diaphysis in a triphalangeal thumb. In some angled thumb, however, triangular-shaped secondary ossification center can cause the deformity, which can be called “abnormal triangular epiphysis” of the thumb. A few clinicians have reported this entity, but they do that utilise this term instead cla...

OBJECTIVE The management of triphalangism provides the age-old problem of marrying maximal functional benefit with acceptable cosmesis. The objective was to discuss the rare abnormality of bilateral triphalangeal thumb, the surgical existing surgical approaches, and to present a case in a pediatric patient who had a good result with a relatively simple and straightforward method of surgically m...

Abstract We present a case of 32-year-old male with left-sided Goldenhar Syndrome and delta phalanx the thumb, who was offered free tissue transfer from forearm to address an intra-oral soft deficiency. Despite presence appropriately developed right radial artery, used in previous facial reconstruction, left artery occurred be hypoplastic. He ultimately underwent flap based on anomalous persist...
