      abstract = {Now in a revised and updated second edition, this book  encompasses the current knowledge of genetic and molecular  causes of, and surgical and non-surgical treatment for,  congenital deformities of the hand. Divided into five  sections, this comprehensive text presents the many  variations of congenital anomaly encountered in the  clinical setting. Part I discusses general considerations  for congenital deformity, including embryology and  classification, incidence and prevalence, genetics,  anesthesia, prosthetics and rehabilitation principles, hand  therapy and even psychological considerations for children  living with these conditions. The second and third sections  present deformities based on failures of formation and/or  differentiation of the axis and hand plate respectively:  radial and ulnar longitudinal deficiencies,  symbrachydactyly, syndactyly (including Apert Syndrome),  clinodactyly and captodactyly, and synostosis and  coalitions are described in detail, among others.  Duplication deformities, such as radial and ulnar  polydactyly, are covered in part IV. The final section  discussed overgrowth (macrodactyly), amniotic band  syndrome, arthrogryposis, Madelung deformity, epidermolysis  bullosa and additional generalized skeletal anomalies. All  chapters are generously referenced and illustrated with  radiography and full-color photographs. Bringing together  the latest clinical evidence and surgical interventions,  this second edition of Congenital Anomalies of the Upper  Extremity will continue to be an excellent resource for  orthopedic, hand and plastic surgeons treating young  patients with these challenging deformities of the hand.},
