Congenital hand differences can affect critical aspects of your child’s growth and well-being. With limited capabilities of hands or fingers, children can be both restricted in normal form and functional development. These conditions can also be particularly disabling when they begin to explore the world around them and interact with others through sensory touch. With board-certified and fellowship-trained pediatric hand specialists, parents can count on Valley Children’s Healthcare pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgeons to help improve congenital hand differences affecting your child.

It is critical to see a specialized pediatric hand expert with congenital hand surgery expertise. Various conditions can range from one finger that is abnormally longer or shorter to more severe differences. If your child has been born with any hand condition that concerns you, don’t hesitate to make an appointment with our pediatric plastic and reconstructive hand specialist at Valley Children’s Healthcare. Early consultation is critical for optimal treatments which can include observation, hand therapy and sometimes reconstructive surgery. Our goal is to intervene at the ideal time to prevent worsening deformity of the upper extremity.
