Symbrachydactyly (Greek: syn: together, brachy: short, dactyl: digit) literally means a hand with short webbed fingers. The severity of symbrachydactyly varies from mild with hands that typically have triphalangeal digits with most of the pathology seen in the middle phalanx to severe with ...
Background: Symbrachydactyly is a unilateral congenital hand malformation characterized by failure of formation of fingers and the presence of rudimentary digit nubbins. The management is variable and are investigated in this review. Methods: A detailed review of the literature was compiled into succinct...
The clinical and radiologic spectrum of symbrachydactyly has been extended, on the basis of experimental embryology, into four categories: typical symbrachydactyly, atypical cleft hand, monodactyly, and adactyly. The origin of this embryologic failure is probably a vascular disruption. A series of ...
Symbrachydactyly is a rare congenital malformation of the hand characterized by short or even absent fingers with or without syndactyly, mostly unilaterally present. The hand condition can vary from a small hand to only nubbins on the distal forearm. This study aims to systematically review the ...
Surgical options for reconstruction of children with transverse failure or symbrachydactyly include nonvascularized toe phalangeal bone grafting, distraction osteogenesis, and microsurgical toe-to-hand transfers.doi:10.1007/978-1-4899-7504-1_11William J. Dahl M.D....

Symbrachydactyly is a congenital hand difference which is sporadic and generally unilateral that presents with shortened or absent central digits. The treatment of symbrachydactyly is multifaceted and optimized when opportunities to enhance innate ability through nonoperative interventions and surgical ...
Symbrachydactyly is a congenital hand difference that presents with diverse morphologic forms and can be confused with many other congenital hand differences. Congenital hand difference classification schemes categorize symbrachydactyly as an undergrowth or failure of axis formation. It is further categorized...

Nonvascularized toe phalanx to hand transplant with distraction lengthening restores functional length to a skeletally deficient, poorly functioning hand while maintaining an overlying layer of vascular and sensate tissue. The primary goal is improvement of digital length to enhance mechanical advantage and...
