    Summary

    Congenital clubhand, a radial upper extremity malformation, presents diverse morphological and soft tissue defects. Treatment involves conservative methods, with surgery indicated for persistent functional deficits, though recurrence is possible.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Congenital clubhand involves malformations of the radial upper extremities.
    • It can be associated with various syndromes and thalidomide embryopathy.
    • Morphological variations include complete or partial absence or hypoplasia of the radius, alongside soft tissue defects like muscle and tendon aplasia.

    Purpose:

    • To review the etiology, morphology, and treatment of congenital clubhand.
    • To discuss conservative and operative management strategies.
    • To highlight challenges in treatment, including recurrence and premature success evaluation.

    Summary:

    • Congenital clubhand is a radial limb malformation with varied presentations.
    • Conservative treatments include exercises, casting, splinting, and occupational therapy.
    • Surgical intervention is considered when conservative methods fail to improve hand function, with various techniques available.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of congenital clubhand for clinicians and researchers.
    • Emphasizes the importance of optimal wrist support and muscular balance to prevent recurrence.
    • Warns against premature assessment of surgical outcomes in clubhand management.
