ABSTRACT
An unusual case is presented as bilateral, complete digital duplication of the hand in a 32-year-old man. Radiographic evaluation showed complete duplication of intact phalanges and metacarpal bones in both hands. Although polydactyly of the hand is reported to occur among approximately 1 in 1000 live births, most of these malformations are rudimentary skin tags. Complete postaxial polydactyly is uncommon; it occurs in approximately 0.014% of all live births. The main goal of the surgical treatment is to establish adequate function and appearance. This case reports the preoperative evaluation and management of bilateral postaxial type III duplication of the fingers.
