Abstract

Summary: The triphalangeal thumb poses a complex reconstructive challenge to the congenital hand surgeon due to its rarity and variable anatomy. We discuss the available evidence, reporting clinical characteristics and outcomes of surgical reconstructive procedures of triphalangeal thumb alongside a representative case. The congenital hand surgeon must approach each patient with triphalangeal thumb individually to optimize the use of available tissues to maximize functional and aesthetic outcomes.
