Abstract | Purpose of review: Polydactyly presents with variable extent of duplication and may involve preaxial/radial (hand)/medial (foot), postaxial/ulnar (hand)/lateral (foot) or central duplication. This review will summarize recent advancements in the surgical management of this common entity. Recent findings: Modifications to classification systems aim to help guide surgical management of polydactyly. Attempts have been made at quantifying preoperative angulation of the duplicated digits to minimize the chance of residual or recurrent deformity after surgical reconstruction. As a result, consideration should be given to the need for soft tissue correction vs. osteotomy to optimize the clinical outcome. On-top plasty is an option that may be beneficial in 'unequal' preaxial polydactyly, where neither duplicate is preferred on its own. Summary: Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital anomalies in the hands and feet. Determination of surgical intervention often begins with classification systems that exist, which primarily separate these into preaxial, postaxial, and central. Referral for surgical consideration is indicated, given the management is often surgical. |
