Congenital Hand Anomalies

Congenital hand anomalies are abnormalities in the hand structure that occur from birth. These anomalies usually occur as a result of a problem that occurs during hand formation during the development of the fetus. Congenital hand anomalies can cause different shapes, sizes and functional problems.

If we give an example of congenital hand anomalies;

. congenital amputations,

.Radial or ulnar side anomaly

.cleft hand

.Symbrachydactyly

.syndactyly

.Camptodactyly

.symphalangism

Treatment of congenital hand anomalies is planned according to the type and shape of the hand problem. For example, attached fingers are opened, extra fingers are removed, large and crooked fingers are thinned and corrected, and if there is no thumb, a new thumb is made.
