Reconstructive surgery forms a part of plastic surgery which involves use of surgery to repair, restore or reconstruct different parts of the body that may be damaged due to trauma, cancer, burns or due to birth defects.
Birth defects resulting in deformities of the hand are common. Fused fingers(syndactyly), Multiple fingers(polydactyly), Short fingers(brachydactyly), absent fingers (adactyly), are the common defects. There may be a combination of these and will result in more complex deficits.
Some of these children will be benefitted with early surgical treatment.
