简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes in children with Wassel IV thumb duplication
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes
时间窗: Up to one year post-surgery for the primary outcome measure time frame
Evaluation of functional and aesthetic outcomes using the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand (JSSH) scoring method. Functional outcomes include thumb mobility and function scored out of 10 points, and aesthetic outcomes include overall thumb appearance scored out of 14 points. The minimal and worst score is 0, the maximal and best score is 30.
