What is another word for triphalangeal thumb?
Pronunciation: [tɹˈɪfɐlˌand͡ʒi͡əl θˈʌm] (IPA) 
Triphalangeal thumb, also known as TPT, is a rare congenital condition characterized by the presence of an extra bone in the thumb, resulting in three phalanges instead of the normal two. This condition can cause difficulties in performing daily tasks and fine motor skills. Synonyms for triphalangeal thumb include tridactyly, Triphalangeal Thumb-Polydactyly Syndrome, and articulated thumb. While surgery may be an option for correcting this condition, early intervention through physical therapy and occupational therapy is critical for improving functional outcomes. In addition, regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help manage any associated complications.
