Objectives/Interrogation: Wassel type IV duplications angulated inversely is the most complicated and common subtype associated with Wassel type IV polydactyly. The objective of this study is to align the IP joint by use of open wedge proximal phalanx osteotomy to obtain better outcome for reconstruction of zigzag deformity.
Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, 14 patients were treated for thumb duplication with zigzag deformity by useof open wedge osteotomy at the proximal phalanx to correct deviation at the interphalangeal joint from the central axis. The mean age of patients at the time of surgery was 11 months (range, 6-15 months). Preoperative and postoperative X-ray were obtained in all cases to provide information about the zigzag pattern of bone involvement and monitor growth changes over time. Patients were followed for a mean of 26 months (range, 16-36 months).
Results and Conclusions: The results were evaluated according to form for thumb polydactyly of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand. By the end of follow-up, 12 cases were rated good, 2 cases fair. Therefore, this approach may be considered as a good alternative for reconstructing Wassel type IV polydactyly with zigzag deformity.
