There are few studies looking at late presentation or adults with macrodactyly. This study specifically aims to describe the presentation and surgical management of adult macrodactyly and to compare these findings with those in children, highlighting the distinct challenges associated with late presentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective study of 13 adults (18\u2009years or older) and 19 children with macrodactyly of the upper limb who underwent surgery in a 13\u2009year period. Clinical features including radiographic findings, number and types of surgeries were compared between adults and children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Common reasons for presentation in adulthood were carpal tunnel syndrome and functional impairment. Radiographs of adults showed exostoses, arthritis, bony fusions and angulation deformities. The mean number of surgeries that children underwent was almost double that of adults. The average number of debulking procedures per patient was significantly more in children including soft tissue resection, osteotomy and reconstructive surgeries. Amputations were slightly more common in adults. Carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger fingers were seen only in adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adults and paediatric patients with macrodactyly seek treatment for different reasons. Presentation in childhood often results in multiple debulking stages or reconstructive attempts. In adults, surgery is often for improving function and usually single staged. Untreated, long-term progression of joint changes can lead to pain and disability. Recognition of these symptoms can guide treatment in older patients or prevent age-related changes in younger populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IV<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934251409593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,21]],"date-time":"2026-01-21T04:48:31Z","timestamp":1768970911000},"page":"611-616","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Clinical presentations of macrodactyly in adults vs. children: a descriptive analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0456-8555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S Raja","family":"Sabapathy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Ganga Hospital, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7699-6559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monusha","family":"Mohan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Ganga Hospital, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2004.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-196749070-00001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JHSB.2005.05.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2013.08.095"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.1996.15.9.661"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193418796441"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2015.04.017"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_1","article-title":"Ray resection as a personalized surgical technique for progressive hand macrodactyly in a 60-year-old patient: a case report and literature review","volume":"14","author":"Hadjimichael AC","year":"2022","unstructured":"Hadjimichael AC, Kaspiris A, Spyridonos S.
