After prolonged finger-sucking in early infancy, skeletal digital deformities, especially of the index finger, may occur. Thumb-sucking causes primarily dental disturbances whereas prolonged index--sucking may deform this finger, with functional as well as aesthetic consequences on the grip. Acquired rotation of the index finger is the most frequent deformity and does not always resolve spontaneously so that a rotation osteotomy had to be performed in 3 cases.
在婴儿早期长期吮指后，可能会出现手指骨骼畸形，尤其是食指。吮拇指主要导致牙齿问题，而长期吮食指可能会使该手指变形，对手部抓握功能和美观都有影响。食指获得性旋转是最常见的畸形，且并非总能自行缓解，因此有3例患者不得不接受旋转截骨术。
