It is typically diagnosed and treated in childhood. If left untreated, it may persist into adulthood, resulting in significant functional impairment and cosmetic deformity.\n\nCase Report: We report a 51-year-old female with congenital macrodactyly affecting the left thumb, index, and middle fingers. She experienced progressive enlargement of these digits since birth and reduced function in her left hand. Clinical examination revealed marked hypertrophy, complete loss of function in the left index finger, and partial movement in the thumb and middle finger. Surgical management included amputation of the left index finger, debulking of the thumb and middle finger, and carpal tunnel release.\n\nConclusion: Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated significant improvement in hand function, reduced digit size, and satisfactory cosmetic results. Adult-onset presentation of macrodactyly is rare, but individualised surgical treatment can lead to substantial improvement.\n\nKeywords: Finger amputation, debulking surgery, digital overgrowth, congenital hand anomaly, macrodactyly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i07.7594","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,9]],"date-time":"2026-07-09T06:11:45Z","timestamp":1783577505000},"page":"84-87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adult Presentation of Congenital Macrodactyly of the Hand Managed with Debulking and Amputation of a Digit: Report of a Rare Case"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Shubhakar","family":"Ayyagari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Nellaiyappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Subashini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,9]],"date-time":"2026-07-09T06:11:45Z","timestamp":1783577505000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/07\/adult-presentation-of-congenital-macrodactyly-of-the-hand-managed-with-debulking-and-amputation-of-a-digit-report-of-a-rare-case\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i07.7594","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}}}
