Assessment of Thumb Placement
Keyword(s):
Normal thumb placement has not been defined topographically, and distally or proximally placed thumbs are defined subjectively. We wish to report an objective method of assessment of the normal range of thumb placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred fifteen infants between the gestational age of 34 to 42 weeks were examined within the first 24 hours of life. All were appropriate for gestational age, without any congenital anomalies. Gestational age was calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, and it was verified by the Dubowitz scoring system.1 Whenever a difference of 2 weeks on more was found in calculation of gestational age, the infant was excluded.
