Treatment of Congenital Hand Deformities
Your doctor may suggest the following treatments based on your child’s age, health conditions, cause of the condition, and tolerance to specific medications, procedures, or therapies. Early correction of the deformities allows for normal development and function of hand and prevents the development of permanent deformities. Some of the treatment options include:

__Limb manipulation and stretching is done to increase the movement of a restricted area to bring back the normal motion by eliminating pain and other symptoms.

__Skin grafting, a procedure in which part of hand that has a missing skin is attached or replaced with skin that is either removed from different part of the own body.

__Use of prosthetics, anartificial device that replaces the missing bone in hand

__Splinting of the affected limbs

__Physical therapy is recommended to help increase the strength and function of the hand

Various surgeries are performed to correct the abnormalities including reduction and fixation of broken bone, drainage and debridement, micro-surgical replantation, skin flap, tendon and nerve repairs, arthroplasty, and fasciotomy.
