A classification of the deformity based on the functional anatomy of the thumb divided the problem into four different types. A retrospective analysis of the results has shown the classification to be helpful in selecting a surgical option for treatment. In addition, the classification helps to keep accurate records, predict patient progress, and coordinate postoperative treatment.
