Sonuç: Sağlanan veriler, klinisyene patolojileri saptamada ve rekonstrüktif ameliyatların estetik sonuçlarını intraoperatif ve postoperatif analiz etme konusunda yardımcı olabilir. Aim: Congenital or traumatic events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand thumb and need to reconstruct the finger at times. This study was conducted to identify normal values for thumb length with respect to the index finger by using surface landmarks. Material and Method: A totally 164 normal hands of 82 young adults (47 males and 35 females) were analysed (aged 19± 1.3). Measurements of relative thumb length, girth (TG) and nail width (TNW) were performed with respect to the index finger. Measurement values were classified as Thumb Proximal Phalanx (TPP) index and Thumb Digital Crease (TDC) index. Results: Average values of the TPP and TDC indexes were found 0.82 and 0.59 respectively for right hand and 0.74 and 0.49 respectively for left hand. The values of thumb length with respect to proximal phalanx of index finder (AD/AB) were found to be 74% and 77% in right hand for females and males respectively; and 70% and 73% in left hand for males and females respectively. Values of the thumb length with respect to the length of the whole index finger (AD/AC) were found to be 35% and 34% in right hand and left hand respectively. Comparison of the TG and TNW to index finger girth and nail width indicated the percentage values as 132% and 106% respectively. Conclusion: The provided data could help to the clinician's as to detect pathologies and analyse aesthetic outcomes of reconstructive surgeries intraoperatively and postoperatively.No biography provided yet
