Overgrowth of digits
Overgrowth of Digits
Overgrowth of digits is also known a macrodactyly, which causes an abnormally large digit. In this situation, the hand and the forearm may also be involved. In this rare condition, all parts of the finger (or thumb) are affected, however, in most cases, only one digit is involved (usually the index finger).
This condition is more commonly seen in males. Surgical treatment of this condition is complex and the outcomes may be less than desirable. Sometimes, amputation of the enlarged digit is recommended.
