Split-hand and split-foot deformity inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

A intermarried consanguineous family with split-hand and -foot deformity occurring in two sibship is presented. Both the sibship resulted from marriage between first cousins. This report, together with those of Ray (1960) and Freire-Maia (1971), further demonstrates that split-hand and -foot deformity can be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Arthrogryposis of the hand.

Forty-five cases of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita were reviewed with respect to deformities and function of the hand. A distal predominance of the involvement and severity was apparent; hand deformity was a common manifestation in the arthrogrypotic patients. The majority of the hand deformities consisted of two types: one was a thumb-in-palm deformity with the fingers in intrinsic plus position, and another type was flexion contractures of the fingers at the interphalangeal joints. Regardless of type, hand function was impaired with severe or moderate deformity. Twenty-nine hands of 17 patients were successfully treated by surgery. Surgical methods are discussed based on an analysis of hand deformity and function.

Two-stage reconstruction of apert acrosyndactyly.

This report retrospectively reviews presenting radiographs and surgical treatment of 28 hands in 14 children with Apert acrosyndactyly with the purpose of developing a classification system to describe the decision-making process used to determine the type and staging of hand reconstruction. The average patient age at last follow-up evaluation was 7 years (range, 3-17 years). Type I deformities (7 hands) had little or no angular deformity at the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint; two-stage reconstruction created a four-fingered hand. Type IIA deformities (11 hands) had mild MP joint angular deformity and a more proximal complex syndactyly of the middle three digits; two-stage reconstruction created a three-fingered hand with ray resection of the third digit. Type IIB deformities (7 hands) had pronation of digit 2 superimposed on the thumb and radial angulation at the MP joint of digit 2; two-stage reconstruction created a three-fingered hand with ray resection of the second digit. Type IIC deformities (3 hands) had supination of digit 4 superimposed on digit 5 with ulnar angulation at the MP joint of digits 4 and 5; two-stage reconstruction created a three-fingered hand with ray resection of the fourth digit. This report presents a classification system and four different treatment strategies based on presenting radiographs.
