Abstract
- An adult with delta-phalanges of both thumbs was treated with removal of the supernumerary phalanx on one side and wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx on the other. The results show that wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx is the treatment of choice for this type of congenital deformity in adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
