The morphology and function of the macrodactylous enlarged nerve was impaired in type II macrodactyly patients; however, the unaffected UN partially compensated for the lost function of the affected MN under specific situations. Electrophysiological tests should be performed to determine the function of the affected nerve and surgical treatment for type II macrodactyly could be refined.
