Introduction[edit | edit source]
Congenital hand deformities are deformities of hand that present at birth.[1] Congenital hand deformities are also known as- congenital hand differences, congenital hand anomalies[2], congenital hand conditions and congenital hand problems[3].
Etiology[edit | edit source]
Congenital hand deformities usually occur between the fourth and eighth week after the embryo is formed. Failure of the transformation from arm bud cells to the upper limb can lead to an abnormal appearing/functioning upper extremity which is presented at birth. Some causes are linked to genetics while others are affected by the environment, and the rest have remained unknown.[4]
Epidemiology[edit | edit source]
Of the 1% to 2% of newborns that are born with congenital defects, 10% of these are born with upper extremity malformations.[5] Congenital hand differences affect approximately 1 in 500 persons.
