Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes in children with Wassel IV thumb duplication

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Wassel IV thumb duplication is a congenital hand anomaly characterized by the presence of two adjacent thumbs. This condition has significant functional and aesthetic implications.

Previous studies have highlighted the complexity of the surgical management of Wassel IV thumb duplication, underscoring the need for an individualized approach for each case. Early interventions are often recommended to optimize long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes.

The field of study for evaluating these outcomes focuses on the analysis of the medium and long-term consequences of surgical interventions in children with this malformation. Evaluation criteria may include hand functionality, thumb mobility, overall aesthetics, and other aspects relevant to the quality of life of the affected pediatric patients. This medium and long-term approach offers crucial insights for refining treatment protocols and improving the overall management of this condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Wassel IV Thumb Duplication Cases

This group consists of pediatric patients who have undergone surgical correction for Wassel IV thumb duplication. All participants have had a minimum of one year post-operative follow-up. This cohort will be assessed for functional and aesthetic outcomes using the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand (JSSH) scoring method. This includes evaluating thumb mobility, functionality, global aesthetics, and other quality of life aspects for each patient using their contralateral healthy thumb as a control. Data will be collected on preoperative metacarpophalangeal angle, type of skin flap used, surgical reconstruction technique, immobilization method, postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction with surgery and daily pain levels.

Wassel IV Thumb Duplication Surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

This intervention involves the surgical correction of Wassel IV thumb duplication, which is a congenital hand anomaly. The study retrospectively evaluates the outcomes of various surgical techniques that have been employed to correct this condition, with a focus on functionality and aesthetics of the thumb post-surgery. Data collected post-intervention include preoperative metacarpophalangeal angle, type of skin flap, surgical reconstruction technique, immobilization method, and postoperative complications. Additionally, patient satisfaction and daily pain levels are assessed using standardized questionnaires. Each patient serves as their own control, with outcomes compared to their contralateral healthy thumb.
