This article explores recent developments for 6 common congenital hand differences, including polydactyly, syndactyly, camptodactyly, clinodactyly, trigger thumb, and cleft hand. These differences are challenging because the surgeon must understand the potential for both functional and social (ie, appearance) issues in order to provide ideal treatment for each child and family. Therapy or surgical correction plays a role for most of these children. Recent investigations have provided additional data on the expected outcomes following intervention.
本文探讨了6种常见先天性手部差异的最新进展，包括多指畸形、并指畸形、屈曲指畸形、弯指畸形、扳机指和裂手畸形。这些差异具有挑战性，因为外科医生必须了解功能和社会（即外观）问题的可能性，以便为每个儿童和家庭提供理想的治疗。对于大多数这些儿童来说，治疗或手术矫正都能发挥作用。最近的研究提供了关于干预后预期结果的更多数据。
