Miscellaneous Congenital Deformities

This includes those that involve aplasia or lack of development of bones and/or soft tissues within the forearm and arm. These patients must be evaluated by a pediatric geneticist to make sure there are no other concomitant problems involving the heart, lungs and/or blood. Once the patient is cleared for surgery, there are a myriad of surgical procedures that can be done to help reconstruct the arm and/or hand depending on the specific problem.
