Congenital Hand Anomalies
Congenital hand anomalies are birth defects that affect the structure and function of a baby’s hand or upper limb. These conditions may involve extra fingers, missing fingers, fused digits, or underdeveloped hands. While some anomalies are minor and only affect appearance, others can significantly impact function and quality of life.
At the clinic of Prof. Dr. Kamran Khalid in Lahore, we offer specialized evaluation and surgical correction of congenital hand deformities using advanced techniques.

Call NowTypes of Congenital Hand Anomalies
- Polydactyly (Extra Fingers): A condition where a child is born with one or more extra fingers. These may be fully developed or appear as small, underdeveloped digits.
- Syndactyly (Webbed or Fused Fingers): The most common congenital hand anomaly where two or more fingers are fused together. Surgical separation improves hand function and appearance.
- Radial Club Hand: A condition where the thumb or radial side of the hand is underdeveloped or absent, leading to a bent wrist and limited function.
- Cleft Hand: Also called a “lobster claw” deformity, this is characterized by a deep V-shaped cleft in the hand, caused by missing central digits.
- Thumb Hypoplasia: In this anomaly, the thumb is underdeveloped or completely absent, affecting grip and hand strength.
- Camptodactyly & Clinodactyly: These involve abnormal finger curvatures—either fixed bending (camptodactyly) or lateral deviation (clinodactyly).
Why Early Diagnosis & Treatment Matter
Early evaluation of congenital hand anomalies is crucial for planning treatment that supports both functional use and psychosocial development. Many of these conditions can be treated surgically between 6 months to 2 years of age.
At our center in Lahore, each child receives a customized plan involving:
- Accurate diagnosis via clinical exam and imaging
- Timing of surgery for optimal results
- Post-surgical care and hand therapy
