Type 3A Symbrachydactyly in a Newborn Female: A Case Report.

Symbrachydactyly is a complex and rare congenital hand deformity characterized by missing or underdeveloped fingers and rudimentary digit nubbins. This case report focuses on a newborn female with type 3A symbrachydactyly, highlighting the unique clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and initial management approach. The rarity of this condition underscores the need for sharing cases to enhance understanding and treatment strategies. Various classification systems exist, contributing to the challenge of accurately categorizing symbrachydactyly. Surgical interventions play a crucial role in restoring hand function and appearance, with treatment choices tailored to individual evaluation and goals. Early surgical intervention is often necessary to improve outcomes, and nonvascularized toe phalangeal transfers have shown promising results. Further research is required to uncover the underlying cause and pathogenesis of symbrachydactyly, enabling more targeted and effective treatment approaches. This case report contributes to the existing knowledge and management of this uncommon congenital anomaly, emphasizing the importance of sharing and studying such cases for improved patient care.
