An 11-year-old boy was referred with poorly understood atrophy of his thenar and functional impairment of his right thumb. Sensation in the median nerve distribution was normal but the affected thumb was smaller with decreased skin creases, an unstable metacarpophalangeal joint and diminished strength. He was diagnosed with a type 2 hypoplastic thumb and we advised an opponensplasty.
