Congenital Hand Deformities
Congenital hand deformities are present at birth and may become a challenge for children as they continue to grow and learn to interact with their environment through the use of their hands. The degree of deformity can vary from something minor, such as a digital disproportion, to a more severe deformity, such as total absence of a bone.

Seeking a consultation with a hand surgeon as early as possible is an important part of the treatment process. Even if reconstructive surgery is not a possibility, there are many different types of prosthetic devices that can be used to increase the function of your child’s hand.
