Abstract

Objective: Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the hand and foot, and was first recorded in the hand in 1670. The extra digit rarely contains bone, and instead usually presents as a small piece of soft tissue. Polydactyly has been reported to occur three times more often than syndactyly. This study evaluated the treatment approaches to polydactyly, and the results of these treatments were assessed using clinical data.Material and Methods: In the last five years, 24 boys and 26 girls were admitted to our department with polydactyly. Twenty-seven patients were evaluated for hand polydactyly, and 20 patients were diagnosed with polydactyly of the foot; three patients demonstrated the condition in both extremities.Results: The mean age was six years (range: 1-14 years). All surgical procedures were performed under general anesthesia, and excision was carried out with a local anesthetic. The sutures were removed 10 to 12 days after the operation. There were no serious complications noted during the follow-up visits. Conclusion: The goal of surgery to correct polydactyly is to remove the nonfunctional component and reconstruct the remaining parts of the hand or foot. In patients with polydactyly, 25% require a second operation. In this study, we present the clinical results of 50 patients with polydactyly of the hand and/or foot. In conclusion, excision is adequate for simple cases, but realignment of the tendons, ligaments, or bone is also an important component in complex polydactyly cases.

Özet

Amaç: Polidaktili sık görülen doğumsal el ve ayak anomalilerinden biri olup, ilk defa 1670 yılında elde rapor edilmiştir. Fazla olan parmak genellikle sadece yumuşak doku içerikli olmakla beraber nadir olarak kemik yapı da içermektedir. Polidaktili sindaktiliye oranla üç kat daha fazla görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada polidaktiliye yaklaşım ve tedavi sonuçlarımız değerlendirilmiştir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Son 5 yılda 27 hastada elde, 20 hastada ayakta ve 3 hastada hem elde hem ayakta (24 erkek, 26 kadın) toplam 50 hasta polidaktili tanısıyla değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı altı idi. Tüm hastalar genel anestezi altında opere edildi. Lezyonlara uygulanan lokal anestezi sonrası total derin eksizyon uygulandı. Dikişler 10-12. günlerde alındı. Opere edilen hastalarda uzun dönemde fonksiyonel sorun görülmedi.Sonuç: Polidaktili tedavisinde temel hedef fazla olan dokuların çıkarılması ve etkilenen dokuların anatomik olarak uygun şekilde onarılmasıdır. Polidaktili sonrası hastaların yaklaşık %25'inde farklı nedenlerle yeniden operasyon yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada el ve/veya ayakta polidaktili nedeniyle opere edilen hastalar sonuçlarıyla birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak eksizyon ve uygun kapama basit olgular için yeterli iken, kompleks olgularda tendon, kemik ve ligamentlerin uygun şekilde repozisyonu temel amaç olmalıdır.
