When both duplicates are of similarly small diameters, a combination procedure may be necessary. Furthermore, primary surgical alignment is crucial to ensure a straight thumb and avoid future deviations.

Inclusion criteria include similar-sized duplicated thumbs that meet nail criteria (&lt;70% of a normal contralateral thumb), necessitating a combination procedure in order to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing single thumb. Patients were followed for an average of 14.5\u2009months. Outcomes were assessed using a visual analogue scale for satisfaction (0\u201310), nail width and girth measurements, and the Tada scoring system for function and cosmesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All the flaps survived. The reconstructed thumbs had near-normal size, contour, and alignment. Five cases showed mild nail ridges without any severe deformities. The average nail width and girth were 97 and 96% of the values for the contralateral thumb, respectively. The mean visual analogue scale score was 8.9, indicating high patient satisfaction. The median Tada score was 4.7, with 15 excellent and seven good cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Wassel\u2013Flatt type IV\u2013VII radial polydactyly with both duplicates exhibiting smaller nail diameters, a combination technique using the modified Bilhaut\u2013Cloquet procedure results in good appearance and function.
