[Asymmetrical macrodactyly].
A case of asymmetrical macrodactyly is reported with special regard to the conservation of the remaining function. It is shown that partial resection of the metacarpal bones, performed for functional reasons, leads to a satisfying result, while the amputation of the fingers, proposed for cosmetic reasons, is not recommended.
