Ray Resection for Progressive Macrodactyly of the Hand: Surgical Technique and Illustrative Cases

Macrodactyly of the hand is a rare condition. Although the underlying mechanism is being more fully elucidated, surgical intervention is typically required to improve the size and function of the affected digits. However, when an involved digit(s) is rapidly progressive in size, ray resection amputation may be the most appropriate treatment. Clinical cases are presented to illustrate single-digit and 2-digit ray resection amputations for progressive macrodactyly.
