Polydactyly, syndactyly, and brachydactyly are among the most common forms. These anomalies can lead to aesthetic and functional problems.<\/p>\n<p>Polydactyly is the presence of more fingers than normal and is often genetically inherited. Its forms can range from a simple soft-tissue appendage to a fully developed finger containing a functional joint. Surgical treatment is important in terms of function and appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Syndactyly is the congenital fusion of two or more fingers. This fusion may be limited to the skin, or it may include bony fusion as well. Surgical separation is usually performed around 1\u20132 years of age and supports functional development.<\/p>\n<p>Complex hand anomalies include conditions such as brachydactyly (short fingers), radial club hand, and complete absence of the hand. In these cases, a multidisciplinary approach is required. Surgical reconstructions, prosthetic applications, and rehabilitation are planned for the long term.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Things You Need to Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Definition<\/td>\n<td>Congenital hand anomalies are structural disorders that occur with deformity and\/or functional impairment of the hand due to incomplete limb development during the embryonal period.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Classification (IFSSH)<\/td>\n<td>1. Failure of formation (e.g., radial aplasia), 2. Duplication (e.g., polydactyly), 3. Failure of differentiation (e.g., syndactyly), 4. Undergrowth, 5. Congenital constriction band syndrome, 6. Generalized skeletal abnormalities and deformities associated with syndromes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Most Common Types<\/td>\n<td>Polydactyly (extra finger), syndactyly (fused fingers), brachydactyly (short fingers), radial\/ulnar aplasia, amniotic band syndrome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Causes<\/td>\n<td>Genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Trisomy 13), intrauterine developmental disorders, environmental factors (teratogen exposure), amniotic band syndrome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diagnostic Methods<\/td>\n<td>Diagnosis is made by physical examination after birth. Some anomalies can be detected with prenatal ultrasound. If necessary, genetic testing and radiological imaging are performed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Functional Effects<\/td>\n<td>Difficulties with grasping, holding, and fine motor skills; aesthetic concerns; functional limitations such as asymmetry and balance impairment in hand use may occur.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment Timing<\/td>\n<td>In mild deformities, surgery may be postponed. In severe cases that impair function, surgery is generally planned between 6 months and 2 years of age.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surgical Treatments<\/td>\n<td>Removal of the extra finger (excision), separation of fused fingers, tendon transfers, bony reconstructions, rotational or graft surgeries.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Non-Surgical Approaches<\/td>\n<td>Improving function is targeted with orthosis use, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, developmental support, and family counseling.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Complications<\/td>\n<td>Wound-healing problems, recurrence, limitation of motion, re-deformity during growth, mismatch with aesthetic expectations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Multidisciplinary Approach<\/td>\n<td>Collaboration among orthopedics, plastic surgery, physical therapy, child development, and psychological support units is recommended.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Long-Term Follow-Up<\/td>\n<td>Deformity should be monitored throughout growth, corrective secondary surgeries planned if needed, and functional development followed up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-2061059610 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_313383060 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_160737869\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1466676205\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-603274134\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\" style=\"background-color:#213360;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-1707330332\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-57589644\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover border-gorsel x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_632778233\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/serdarnasir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC08566-1-533x800.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serdarnasir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC08566-1-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/serdarnasir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC08566-1-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/serdarnasir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC08566-1.webp 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_632778233 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-57589644 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -10px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-32781203\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-521745325\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<div><strong><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">Prof. Dr. Serdar Nas\u0131r<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"font-size: 63%;\"><br \/>Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-521745325 {\n  font-size: 1.55rem;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-521745325 {\n    font-size: 1.85rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n<p>He completed his medical education at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 1996 and his specialty training between 1996\u20132002 at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.<\/p>\r\n<p>Between 2002\u20132009, he worked at S\u00fcleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since 2009, he has been working at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.

structural differences that occur during a baby\u2019s development in the womb and affect the bones, muscles, tendons, or finger structure of the hand. They can present in various forms such as missing fingers, fused fingers (syndactyly), or extra fingers (polydactyly). These anomalies can range from mild cosmetic issues to serious conditions that affect hand function, and an appropriate treatment plan requires multidisciplinary evaluation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-813814539 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-90590603\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-90590603-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-what-are-the-most-common-types-of-congenital-hand-anomalies?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-90590603-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>What are the most common types of congenital hand anomalies?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-90590603-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-90590603-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Among the most common congenital hand anomalies are syndactyly (fused fingers), polydactyly (extra fingers), brachydactyly (short fingers), and missing fingers.
