The condition is known under numerous names. The most commonly used name is clubbed thumb, or club thumb.[8][9] American researcher R.A. Hefner used the terms "short thumb" and "brachymegalodactylism" in 1924,[3] and "short thumb" has continued to be used in a few other studies since then, including the study which defined Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome in 1963.[1] "Stub thumb" is the common term preferred by the online database Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man[6] and was first used in a 1965 study.[7] Stub thumbs have also been called murderer's thumb (allegedly among fortune tellers),[7] bohemian thumb, Tory's Thumb and potter's thumb.[6]
