Hand Anomalies

Hand anomalies refer to structural or functional differences in the hand that may be present at birth or develop over time. These conditions can affect appearance, movement, and overall hand function. Specialized treatment focuses on improving both functionality and alignment.

 

What are Hand Anomalies?

Hand anomalies include a range of conditions involving the bones, muscles, tendons, or skin of the hand. They may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to injury or other factors.

Treatment aims to correct deformities, restore movement, and improve overall hand performance.

Treatment is recommended if:

  • There are visible deformities in the hand or fingers
  • Movement or function is limited
  • There is difficulty in gripping or performing daily tasks
  • Growth or development of the hand is affected
  • The condition causes discomfort or functional challenges

Early evaluation is important, especially in children, to support proper development.
