INTRODUCTION
Polydactyl is characterized by more than five fingers/digits in hand/foot. It can present alone or as part of many syndrome due to genetic disorder. The defects may be due to
autosomal
recessive or
autosomal
dominant disease. The present work was conducted to
analyse
the type, pattern of involvement, associated anomalies, plan of treatment and outcome of this malformation.
Slide4From Raphael's paintings it was found that the father (St. Joseph) and son had postaxial
polydactyly
which is an
autosomal
dominant trait. St. Joseph found shoes uncomfortable because of his polydactyl. Pre and postaxial polydactyl are also found in
Acrocallosal
Syndrome, an
autosomal
recessive condition characterized by agenesis of corpus
callosum
Slide5Molecular aspect of limb development (4) has an identifiable molecular basis. Hand surgeons should beware of the basic molecular pathways controlling limb development because they are in a unique position to be able to identify patients with such deformities.
If Ultrasonographic examination can be done during 14-16 weeks of gestation, fetuses with polydactyl may be observed. USG is a valuable tool for identification and early management since there is no biochemical or
histopathological
markers. In
utero
auto-amputation (5) of extra digits can be done.
Pregnancies, having polydactyl associated with other anomalies, should be terminated. Whereas isolated fetal postaxial polydactyl type II is associated with a
favourable
outcome
.
Slide6EPIDEMIOLOGY
The condition has an incidence of 1 in every 500 live births. Postaxial hand polydactyl is a common isolated disorder in African black children, and
autosomal
dominant transmission is suspected. Postaxial polydactyl is more frequent in native Africans living in the Eastern and Central than the Caucasians and Mongoloids and is more frequent in male
children.In
contrast, postaxial polydactyl seen in white children is usually
syndromic
and associated with an
autosomal
recessive transmission. This study showed incidence of all types of polydactyl to be 2.3 per 1000 in Caucasian males, 0.6 per 1000 in Caucasian females, 13.5 per 1000 in African males, and 11.1 per 1000 in African females.
Slide7Syndactyly and polydactyl—respectively characterized by fused and supernumerary digits—are among the most common congenital limb malformations, with syndactyly presenting at an estimated incidence of 1 in 2,000–3,000 live births and polydactyl at a frequency of 1 in approximately 700–1,000 live births. Despite their relatively regular manifestation in the clinic, the etiologies of
syndactyl
and polydactyl remain poorly understood because of their phenotypic and genetic diversity
Slide8TYPES OF POLYDACTYL
Five types of polydactyl were encountered,
Type I-
cutaneous
nubbin,
Type II-
pedunculated
digit,
Type III- articulating digit with fifth metacarpal,
Type IV-fully developed digit with sixth metacarpal
Type V-
polysyndactyl
.
Type I and II
ulnar
polydactyl are more prevalent
.
Slide9TYPES OF
POLYDACTYL
There are 3 types of polydactyl based on where the digit is:
1.
Ulnar
or postaxial polydactyl or small finger duplication: This is the most common form of the condition, where the extra finger is on the outside of the little finger. This side of the hand is known as the
ulnar
side. When this form of the condition affects the toes, it is called fibular polydactyl.
2. Radial or
preaxial
polydactyl or thumb duplication: This is less common, occurring in 1 in every 1,000 to 10,000 live births. The extra finger is on the outside of the thumb. This side of the hand is known as the radial side. When this form of the condition affects the toes, it is called
tibial
polydactyl.
3. Central polydactyl: This is a rare type of polydactyl. The extra finger is attached to the ring, middle, or most often index finger. This form of the condition has the same name when it affects the toes.
Slide10CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS
Polydactyl and
syndactyl
are conditions that occur in the developing fetus. Most often these conditions are caused by genetic factors. Both polydactyl and
syndactyl
can be caused by the presence of an
autosomal
dominant trait. An
autosomal
dominant trait is a gene that is not related to the chromosome that determines gender; therefore, it affects boys and girls equally. Because the gene is dominant, when one parent has the gene, each of his or her children has a 50 percent chance of having polydactyl or
syndactyl
.
Slide11The primary symptom of polydactyl is the presence of extra digits on the hands or feet. Polydactyl rarely causes any difficulties for the child. The extra fingers and/or toes are usually removed for cosmetic reasons. In children with
syndactyl
of the hand, finger function may be impaired and, in cases where fingers of different lengths are connected by tissue, finger growth may be limited unless surgery to separate the fingers is performed
Slide12During normal embryonic development (while the baby is still in the womb), the hand initially forms in the shape of a paddle; then — at about the sixth or seventh week of gestation — splits into separate fingers.
Slide13SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The way
polydactyly
presents can vary.
- It may appear as a small, raised lump of soft tissue, containing no bones (called a nubbin) partially formed finger or toe containing some bones but no joints.
-The extra fingers are usually smaller and abnormally developed than normal and can be made up
of:skin
and soft tissue—the simplest to remove
-Skin, soft tissue and bone but no joint
-Skin, soft tissue and bone with joint (closer to a fully-formed finger—most challenging to remove/remodel)
Slide14SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS CONTD
Each person with syndactyly tends to experience different symptoms, as webbed toes may be:
-Unilateral or bilateral: Impacting only one side of the body or both.
-Severe, moderate, or mild: With digits almost entirely fused, with digits partially fused, or with only minor webbing between digits.
- Symmetric or asymmetric: Appearing alike and in the same region on both sides of the body, or appearing dissimilar or in different places on each side of the body.
- Simple or complex: Involving only two digits or a few bones, or including multiple digits or bones.
- Painful or asymptomatic
.
Slide15Minor cases may not interfere much with toe or foot movement and function. However, if the toes are severely webbed or fused, the condition can be disabling.
Slide16DIAGNOSIS OF POLYDACTYL
Polydactyl can be seen by ultrasound prenatally and by eye (i.e. physical examination) at birth. Your doctor will use x-rays to assess the underlying structure of your baby’s finger and determine a course of treatment.
Slide17Syndactyly may be seen by ultrasound prenatally and is apparent at birth. Your doctor will use x-rays to assess the underlying structure of your baby’s fingers and determine a course of treatment. If the syndactyly is associated with a genetic syndrome, doctors will evaluate the baby’s entire upper extremity, chest feet and head/face to detect other abnormalities
.
Slide18TREATMENT OF POLYDACTYL
Treatment for polydactyl depends on how and where the extra digit is connected to the hand or foot. In most cases, the extra digit is removed in the child’s first two years. This gives the child typical use of their hand and allows their feet to fit into shoes.
Sometimes adults will have the surgery to improve the appearance or function of their hand or foot.
Slide19Surgery is usually outpatient, with local or topical anesthesia. Different surgical techniques are a subject of ongoing research.
Removal of an extra little finger or toe is usually a simple procedure.
In the past, nubbins were usually just tied off, but this often left a bump. Now surgery is preferred.
The child will receive stitches to close the wound. The stitches dissolve within two to four week
s.
Slide20Fifth digit:
Removal of an extra little finger or toe is usually a simple procedure.
In the past, nubbins were usually just tied off, but this often left a bump. Now surgery is preferred.
The child will receive stitches to close the wound. The stitches dissolve within two to four weeks.
Thumb or big toe:
Removal of an extra thumb may be complex. The remaining thumb must have an optimal angle and shape to be functional. This may require some remodeling of the thumb, involving the soft tissues, tendons, joints, and ligaments.
Slide21Central fingers or toes:
This surgery is usually more complex and requires remodeling of the hand to ensure it’s fully functional. It may require more than one surgery, and the child may need to wear a cast for a few weeks after surgery.
Sometimes a pin will be inserted to hold the bones together while they heal.
The doctor may prescribe physical therapy to reduce scarring and help improve function.
This procedure is typically performed when the child is between 1 and 2 years old. At this age, the child is old enough to tolerate anesthesia and surgery but is not at risk for missing developmental milestones such as grasping (
prehension
).
Slide22In general, the skin is split evenly between the two fingers with
zig-zag
incisions (z-
plasty
). Only one side of a finger is separated at a time in order to avoid complications related to the skin coverage and blood supply of the affected finger
