What is Congenital disorders ?
Congenital hand disorders are abnormalities of the hand and upper limb present at birth. These conditions may range from minor differences in finger length to the complete absence of parts of the hand or arm. They are caused by genetic, environmental, or unknown factors affecting limb development during fetal growth. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention by a hand specialist can significantly improve function, appearance, and quality of life.
What causes it:
- Genetic mutations: Inherited or spontaneous mutations leading to abnormal limb formation.
- Chromosomal abnormalities: Issues like trisomy or deletions affecting fetal limb development.
- Vascular disruptions: Poor blood supply to the developing limb in utero may cause tissue damage.
- Environmental exposures: Harmful substances (e.g., alcohol, drugs, certain medications) during pregnancy.
- Amniotic band syndrome: Strands from the amniotic sac entangle limbs, leading to constriction or amputations.
Symptoms:
- Missing or extra fingers/toes: Conditions like polydactyly (extra fingers) or syndactyly (webbed fingers).
- Improper finger alignment: Bent, fused, or uneven fingers.
- Reduced hand function: Difficulty grasping or performing daily tasks.
- Abnormal hand shape: Visible deformities or unusual appearance of the hand.
- Impaired growth: Fingers or hands may be smaller or underdeveloped.
Complete Process
Consultation & Planning
A detailed assessment of the hand is done using physical exams and imaging to understand the deformity. The goal is to identify the type, severity, and best timing for treatment.
Customized Surgical Planning
The surgical approach is customized based on the condition—such as syndactyly or extra digits—with timing planned to support normal growth and function.
Daycare Procedure & Recovery
Surgery is usually daycare-based under general anesthesia. Most children go home the same day, with follow-ups and therapy to support healing and movement.
Post-Operative Care & Results
After surgery, dressings and splints may be used, and physiotherapy is often recommended to restore movement. Results are generally long-lasting, aiming to improve both function and appearance.
