  • Title: Congenital Anomalies of the Hand--Principles of Management.
    Author: Little KJ, Cornwall R.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2016 Jan; 47(1):153-68. PubMed ID: 26614930.
    Abstract:
    Physicians who specialize in pediatric orthopedics and hand surgery frequently encounter congenital hand abnormalities, despite their relative rarity. The treating physician should be aware of the associated syndromes and malformations that may, in some cases, be fatal if not recognized and treated appropriately. Although these congenital disorders have a wide variability, their treatment principles are similar in that the physician should promote functional use and cosmesis for the hand. This article discusses syndactyly, preaxial polydactyly and post-axial polydactyly, and the hypoplastic thumb.
