Diagnosis of Congenital Hand Deformities
Initially, your child’s doctor will ask you about your family’s medical history followed by a thorough physical exam of your child’s hand and arm. Following this, your child may be asked to undergo the following tests:
X-rays in which a small amount of radiation will be used to generate an image of your child’s bones
Computerized Tomography (CT) scans in which a series of detailed images, of the body, will be taken by a computer. This is done to produce a more detailed image
Your child may also require a complete paediatric evaluation to eliminate any possibility of other serious anomalies.
