Congenital disorders
Treatment of children born with hand disorders:
Syndactyly- a condition where at least two if not more fingers are "attached" to one another by skin and there is no separation between the fingers.
Polydactyly- a condition in which a child is born with more than five fingers; these may be small pendulous attachments or a fully developed extra finger.
Triphalangeal Thumb- a condition in which a child is born with three small bones (phalanges) instead of two bones of the thumb, which would lead to a longer and possibly less functional thumb.
Congenital Trigger Thumb-
Amniotic Disruption Sequence- a condition in which a child is born with tight rings of skin/scarring around a finger or amputated fingers.
Congenital Absence of the Thumb- a condition in which a child is born without a thumb.
Thumb Duplication- a condition in which a child is born with two thumbs.
