closing wedge osteotomy of abnormal middle phalanx for Clinodactyly
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2009Co-Authors: Teresa Jackson, Ghazi M. RayanAbstract:PURPOSE: To report a series of Clinodactyly patients to report clinical and radiographic outcomes after closing wedge osteotomy and K-wire fixation of abnormal middle phalanges. METHODS: Twenty-five fingers from 17 patients were included in the study. All patients had more than 25 degrees of angulation and were treated with closing wedge osteotomy. Subjective and objective data with radiographic assessment were compared preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS: Male gender was predominant in our series (14 of the total 17 patients). Family history was positive for Clinodactyly in 4 patients. The appearance of all fingers improved after surgery. Angular deformity was corrected on average from 33 degrees preoperatively to 9 degrees postoperatively. Analysis of radiographs showed deformity correction from 29 degrees preoperatively to 5 degrees postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative arc of motion measurements were available for 10 patients. Distal interphalangeal joint arc of motion decreased from 84 degrees prior to surgery to 81 degrees after surgery, whereas proximal interphalangeal joint arc of motion was unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: Closing wedge osteotomy of the abnormal middle phalanx for Clinodactyly has provided our patients with adequate correction of the deformity, improved hand function, and has provided high satisfaction for parents. This treatment is recommended for moderate (15 degrees to 30 degrees ) and severe (>30 degrees ) deformities.

Catel-Manzke syndrome: a clinical report suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance.
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2011Co-Authors: Pelin Özlem Şimşek Kiper, Koray Boduroglu, Gülen Eda Utine, Yasemin AlanayAbstract:We describe a 3-month-old male infant with cleft palate, glossoptosis, micrognathia, and bilateral Clinodactyly, an association which is characteristic of Catel-Manzke syndrome. In addition, the patient had ligamentous laxity in the knee which is a rare finding of this syndrome. The mode of inheritance of Catel-Manzke syndrome is unknown. Most cases are thought to be sporadic but the present patient with consanguinity between the parents and a possibly affected sib provide support for autosomal recessive inheritance.

Mental retardation with blepharo-naso-facial abnormalities and hand malformations: a new syndrome?
Clinical genetics, 2008Co-Authors: Lionel Van Maldergem, C. Wetzburger, Alain Verloes, C. Fourneau, Yves GillerotAbstract:Van Maldergem L, Wetzburger C, Verloes A, Fourneau C, Gillerot Y. Mental retardation with blepharo-naso-facial abnormalities and hand malformations: a new syndrome. Clin Genet 1992:41: 22–24. A syndrome involving facial abnormalities (telecanthus, epicanthus, broad flattened nose, large inverted W-shaped mouth and malformed ears), malformed extremities (camptodactyly, Clinodactyly, interdigital webbing and joint hyperlaxity) and mental retardation is described in a girl at birth and at 11 years old. A comparison with Pashayan-Pruzansky syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, VATER association, Marden-Walker syndrome and Tel-Hashomer syndrome is discussed. We suggest this patient represents a new malformation syndrome or an extreme pheno-typic variant of one of the above-mentioned syndromes.
