Unusual Bilateral Hypoplastic Thumb in Identical Twin Brothers
Duke Whan Chung, Ki Bong Kim
일란성 쌍생아 모두에게 양측성으로 발현된 희귀한 형태의 저형성 무지
정덕환, 김기봉
Abstract
We present an unusal case of hypoplasia of the bilateral thumbs in twin brothers. These thumbs with hypoplastic nail had dorso-radial angulations at interphalageal joint level. The Muller classification of the hypoplastic thumb, which is the most commonly cited classification scheme, does not include these cases. There has been no reference to this type of the hypoplastic thumb in the literature. We suggest this type to Muller type I variant.
