Congenital hand malformations encompass various types, with polydactyly and syndactyly being common. However, congenital absence of the metacarpal is rarely reported, and literature on this condition remains limited. To date, no cases of congenital absence of the fifth metacarpal combined with polydactyly and syndactyly have been documented. Here, we present a case of a 7-month-old female infant with congenital absence of the fifth metacarpal accompanied by polydactyly and syndactyly. The intraoperative management strategy is described, and early postoperative outcomes are evaluated. This case report aims to provide treatment approaches and clinical experience for complex congenital hand malformations, offering reference for clinicians managing similar cases in the future.
先天性手部畸形包括多种类型，多指畸形和并指畸形较为常见。然而，先天性掌骨缺如的报道很少，关于这种情况的文献仍然有限。迄今为止，尚无第五掌骨先天性缺如合并多指畸形和并指畸形的病例记录。在此，我们报告一例7个月大的女婴，患有第五掌骨先天性缺如并伴有多指畸形和并指畸形。描述了术中管理策略，并评估了术后早期结果。本病例报告旨在为复杂先天性手部畸形提供治疗方法和临床经验，为未来临床医生处理类似病例提供参考。
