Well some people never get it right. You don’t talk about cricket in USA simply because they don’t care. And same here. Some medico paparazzi has some reveleations dawned upon his camera and i.e., Megan, our sweet cute and hot Megan Fox has a slightly imperfect thumb. Now of all things, why would you be interested in that, I wonder. Anyway, we have far better places things to talk bout. Megan, don’t worry gal, you were the diva and I can put my thumb impression to swear by it that you will be. Read the actual boring news below and read in full to see some more pictures that doesn’t necessarily have her thumbs in action.
She’s one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, but Transformers actress Megan Fox is not entirely perfect from medical view points i.e.- she has unusually large thumbs (as if we care). The medical term for Fox’s clubbed thumbs is brachydactyly, according to local hand surgeons, reports The New York Daily News. “Literally, what it means is short finger,” says Dr. Steven Bendner, a hand surgeon at Beth Israel Medical Center.
“The nail of the thumb in this condition is often very short and wide,” the expert added.
“It is usually hereditary. Although it could also have been caused by frostbite, or it could have been an injury to the growth plate in childhood,” the expert explained.
The condition becomes more visible during growth and maturity, Beldner says.
Dr. Richard Kim, director of congenital hand surgery at Hackensack Medical Center, notes: “You need it to be able to touch the other fingers and it is important for pinching. In Megan Fox’s case, it appears that only the last bone of the thumb is affected and that it does not involve the joint. For her, it looks like it’s just a cosmetic deficit.”
