By viewing this exhibit, the learner will: 1. Appreciate the importance of congenital hand anomalies which, although rare, present a unique physical and emotional challenge for children and their parents. 2. Gain a basic understanding of the normal development of the upper limb and what goes wrong to cause hand anomalies. 3. Understand which congenital hand anomalies are most commonly imaged. 4. Appreciate the classification systems and important imaging issues for the more common congenital hand anomalies.

Introduction to congenital hand anomalies -normal development of the upper limb -genetic pathways involved in limb development -results of disruption of upper limb development   Common congenital hand anomalies imaged at our centre and useful classification systems -thumb duplication -syndactyly -thumb hypoplasia and longitudinal arrest -transverse arrest -epiphyseal abnormality   Syndromes including congenital hand anomalies   Timing of imaging of congenital hand anomalies
