title: Contrast arthrography in thumb polydactyly with variable morphological patterns.
abstract: Contrast arthrography was performed in 20 patients with duplicated thumbs where the interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, and carpometacarpal joints were involved. Three groups were apparent, those with no joint alteration, those with joint involvement and separate articular impressions, and those with abnormal duplex joints.
