13. Phenotypic analysis of triphalangeal thumb and associated hand malformations.
Triphalangeal thumb (TPT), a long, finger-like thumb with three phalanges instead of two, is regarded as a subtype of preaxial polydactyly. It can occur as a sporadic disorder, but is more often seen as a dominant familial trait. We describe four white Dutch families in which triphalangeal thumb has variable expression and is sometimes associated with preaxi

14. Brachymorphism-onychodysplasia-dysphalangism syndrome.
Three unrelated children are reported with intrauterine proportionate growth retardation and facial dysmorphism (broad nose, flat malar area, large mouth, pointed chin), microcephaly, hypo/aplasia of the terminal fifth digits, and (sub)normal intelligence. Radiological findings include hypo/aplasia or fusion of the distal phalanges of the fifth finger and to

15. Osteophytes in the osteoarthritic hand: their incidence, size, distribution, and progression.
Quantitative microfocal radiographic assessment of osteophytes in osteoarthritic hands showed that their number and area were greatest at joint margins, in the dominant hand, in the second and third compared with fourth and fifth phalanges, in the third phalanx, and in the second distal interphalangeal joint respectively. These sites correspond with those fo

16. Limited ability to extend the digits of the human hand independently with extensor digitorum
While the human hand has an extraordinary capacity to manipulate objects, movement of its digits is usually not completely independent. These limits have been documented for extrinsic flexor muscles, although hand skills also require selectivity for extension movements. Hence, we measured the degree of independent control of the major extrinsic extensor (ext

17. Metacarpophalangeal pattern (MCPP) profile analysis in a family with triphalangeal thumb.
Triphalangeal thumb (TPT) is a rare congenital disorder characterised by a long, finger-like thumb with three phalanges instead of two. It can occur as an isolated defect, in association with other abnormalities of the hands and feet, or as a part of a syndrome. Sporadic cases have been described, but it is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. I
