“…Polydactyly can be diagnosed prenatally [13] and easily at birth however, they occasionally don't affect function in a growing child but the major complaint is cosmetic and finding fitting shoes. There is a psychological impact on the child [10] with the possibility that the child might be bullied at school.…”

“…Polydactyly can be classified as soft tissue, bone without a joint and complete functioning digit [12] . Polydactyly can be diagnosed during the antenatal period using ultrasonography done between 14 -16 weeks of gestation [3,13] . Polydactyly can occur in just one limb or all four limbs, presence of polydactyly in all four limbs describe as Hexadactyly, Tetrapolydactyly or Polydactyly 24 is very rare [4,8] .…”

Background: Polydactyly is a common congenital abnormality of the hands and feet characterized by more than five fingers and toes. Polydactyly is amongst the commonest inherited skeletal conditions. Polydactyly can be familial or sporadic. Methods: This article presents a case of familial postaxial polydactyly in a male neonate involving all four limbs seen in our hospital. The mother has history of postaxial polydactyly in both upper limbs consisting only of soft tissue unlike the index patient who has well developed bone on the extra digit. Conclusion: Polydactyly is easily diagnosed at birth however earlier diagnosis during the early antenatal period provides an opportunity for counselling, investigation for syndromic associations or familial gene transmission and planning treatment.

“…Polydactyly (PD) is a congenital abnormality characterized by the presence of more than five fingers on at least one extremity. It is one of the most common congenital abnormality of a musculoskeletal nature and the most common limb anomaly (Benjamin et al, 2022; Farrugia & Calleja‐Agius, 2016; Phadke & Sankar, 2010). The global prevalence of PD is estimated to be 3.0 to 36.0 per 10,000 live births (LB) (Umair et al, 2018).…”

BackgroundPolydactyly is a congenital abnormality characterized by the presence of additional fingers on one or more extremities. In Colombia, polydactyly accounted for 17% of musculoskeletal congenital abnormalities in 2021, with a prevalence of 6.03 per 10,000 live births. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of polydactyly and identify associated risk factors in Bogotá and Cali, Colombia, from 2002 to 2020.MethodsA retrospective case‐control study design was employed, analyzing data from birth defect reports provided by the Program for the Prevention and Follow‐up of Congenital Defects and Orphan Diseases surveillance system. Cases included live births or stillbirths with polydactyly, while controls consisted of infants without congenital abnormality, matched in terms of birth date and hospital. Prevalence of polydactyly was calculated and risk factors were assessed through odds ratios obtained by logistic regression models, considering a 95% confidence interval.ResultsAmong the 558,255 births included in the study, 848 cases of polydactyly were identified, resulting in a prevalence rate of 15.19 per 10,000 live births. Risk factors associated with polydactyly included male newborn sex, pregestational diabetes, and a family history of malformation among first‐degree relatives.ConclusionThese findings highlight the importance a surveillance system aimed to characterize populations with congenital abnormalities, providing a better option for analyzing risk factors, help improving prevention, diagnosis, notification, and optimal treatment in patients.

ObjectiveTo determine the significance of polydactyly identified on prenatal ultrasonography and provide a detailed analysis of characteristics and perinatal outcomes of fetal polydactyly.MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of pregnancies with a postnatal diagnosis of fetal polydactyly between January 2016 and December 2023. The population was divided into 2 groups at postnatal diagnosis: the isolated polydactyly group and the nonisolated polydactyly group. Clinical data, prenatal ultrasonography, related genetic results, and postnatal outcomes were obtained.ResultsOur study cohort comprised 328 fetuses with polydactyly. The overall detection rate of polydactyly by prenatal ultrasound was 19.2%, and the first detection rate in the first‐, second‐, and third‐trimester were 0.9%, 14.6%, and 3.7%, respectively. Preaxial polydactyly (PPD) of hand was the most common type and the most common type of foot polydactyly was postaxial polydactyly (PAP) both in the isolated group and in the nonisolated group; the central polydactyly is rare. Syndactyly was the most common abnormality complicated with polydactyly. Between the nonpolydactyly group, the isolatedpolydactyly group and the nonisolated polydactyly group, there was a significant difference in perinatal outcome (P < .001).ConclusionThe second trimester is the best gestational age for prenatal ultrasound detection of polydactyly. Polydactyly of hand was more likely PPD, while polydactyly of foot was more likely PAP. When polydactyly is detected by routine prenatal ultrasound, detailed ultrasound examination and prenatal counseling should be performed to determine the possibility of an underlying genetic syndrome.
