“…[7] In the United States, type A PAP is less prevalent than type B and occurs at similar rates among African children of origin. [13] The prevalence of PAP is 1 to 2/1000 live births, with some differences in ethnic groups. [14][15][16] A fully-fledged extra digit characterizes PAPA on the ulnar or fibular side with either a dominant inheritance model or autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.…”

“…The frequency of type B polydactyly is 1/100 to 300 live births in African-American children and 1/1500 to 3000 in white children. [11,13] Seventy percent of PAP (autosomal dominant) in African children are bilateral and are not often linked with other disorders. [13] PAP occurs more often unilaterally, is sporadically inherited, and may be coupled with other congenital hand anomalies in children who are not of African heritage.…”

“…[35] In the biggest cohort of individuals with central polydactyly, 55% had a family history of comparable hand variations, according to Wood. [13] However, in the study of 12 Japanese individuals with central polydactyly, Tada et al [38] could not identify a single patient with a family history could not be identified. Although the number of individuals with extraskeletal signs was minimal in both sets, the rarity of the disorder necessitates genetic consultation.…”

Objective: This study collects what is known about the inheritance underpinnings of syndromic and non-syndromic polydactylies and highlights dactyly presentations with unknown genetic roots. This review summarizes the current information and geneticsenhanced understanding of polydactyly.Background: There is a frequency of 0.37 to 1.2 per 1000 live births for polydactyly, which is also known as hyperdactyly. It is characterized by the presence of extra fingers. Polydactyly is caused by a failure in limb development, specifically the patterning of the developing limb bud. The phenotypic and genetic variability of polydactyly makes its etiology difficult to understand. Preaxial polydactyly, central polydactyly (axial), and postaxial polydactyly are all examples of non-syndromic polydactyly (ulnar). An autosomal dominant disorder with varying penetrance that is mostly passed down via limb development patterning abnormalities.Method: A comprehensive search of MEDLINE/PubMed and other databases was followed by an evaluation of the relevant papers, with a particular focus on those published between 2000 and 2022.Results: Of 747 published article related to Polydactyly from MEDLINE/PubMed search, 43 were from the last 10 years and were the focus of this review. Conclusion:Polydactyly is one of the most frequent congenital hand malformations. PAP is more common than PPD, whereas central polydactyly is very uncommon.

“…In those of non-African descendant, ulnar polydactyly is usually sporadic. 31 Due to advancements in pediatric anesthesia, most operations can be performed safely if the patient does not have serious associated problems, such as a severe cardiac anomaly. The surgeon's understanding of the pathologic anatomy of the hand is very important for surgical planning, in which surgical timing is better to be postponed until it is clearly revealed.…”

Summary: It is very important for us, the surgeons, to understand the difficulties of parents who have a baby with a congenital hand difference, not only because the parents are the decision makers for the operation but also because they need consolation and care to overcome their distress. The psychological and physical developmental milestones of the child with a congenital hand difference should be considered to achieve a satisfactory surgical outcome from the viewpoint of both the surgeon and the child. Even experts in congenital hand differences may have difficulties in decision-making with regard to certain entities because of the clinical diversity and rarity. Communication among surgeons who are interested in congenital hand differences, through social networking services or other communication tools, is very helpful and effective for the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Although the final decision should be made by the surgeon, many questions and answers from friends and colleagues will lead to better decisions.

Postaxial polydactyly of the bilateral hand in toddler: Case report and literature review

Polydactyly is a common congenital malformation of the hand and foot characterized by an extra digit or duplication of digits. Polydactyly can present as preaxial, complex, or postaxial types. It has various presentations, and it can be an isolated anomaly or part of other diseases or syndromic conditions. Incidences are more common in European and Asian descent. The first line of treatment commonly practiced is surgery to create an aesthetically normal functioning hand. In this report, we present a case of bilateral hand polydactyly in a 2-year 6-month-old boy of Asian descent. No other abnormalities or malformations were observed elsewhere in his body. He is otherwise a healthy boy with no family history of malformations. The pattern is not consistent with any syndromic disease. He subsequently underwent surgical resection of the extra digits and a follow-up review showed normal function of the hands without contracture and other complications of the surgical site.
