Surgery for ​Congenital Hand Anomalies

​CONGENITAL CONDITIONS TREATED – polydactyly, syndactyly, hypoplasia, symbrachydactyly, cleft hand, aplasia, radial club hand, ulnar club hand, macrodactyly, constriction ring syndrome, clinodactyly, camptodactyly, trigger thumb.

Congenital anomalies of the hands and limb are anomalies that are present at birth in a young baby.  The incidence of this is quite low in the general population (in the order of 1:1000 births) and the range of anomalies is quite broad. 
 
The most common anomalies that are seen in the general population are polydactyly (additional digits), syndactyly (webbed or conjoint digits), hypoplasia (small or absent digits or limbs).  There are many other forms of congenital hand anomalies that are also seen, however, these are less common.

Dr Blennerhassett has decades of experience treating these conditions and underwent specialised training in the USA at Harvard, with Dr Joseph Upton.

In recent years, he has surgically created thumbs for more than 50 WA children born without thumbs. 

If your child has a congenital hand anomaly, Dr Blennerhassett will be able to discuss likely treatment options together with prognosis and other factors that you would no doubt have significant questions about regarding your young baby.
 
A dedicated team of medical and para-medical staff help in the treatment of children with congenital hand anomalies;

  • a dedicated paediatric anaesthetist for surgical procedures.
  • a paediatric hand therapist that assists in the pre-operative and post-operative management of younger patients with the addition of splinting and exercise mobilisation techniques to help regain the maximum function for our younger patients’ hands.
