The windblown hand deformity, also known as congenital ulnar drift of the fingers and congenital contractures of the digits is reported infrequently in the literature. Although the syndrome is well described, authors' use of different terms is confusing. In more than 20 years of practice, we ...

Split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a severe congenital acral deformity characterized by the absence or hypoplasia of the central axis of the hand and foot, resulting in congenital limb dysplasia with varying degrees of fusion of the residual digit [1]. SHFM can be isolated or syndromic [...
Patients are helped to understand how strain on the joint when carrying out daily activities can contribute to joint pain and potentially promote joint deformity. Hand exercises also aim to reduce pain and disability, and improve physical functioning and grip strength [9]. Studies in patients with...
