ulnar clubhand

Ulnar clubhand is a congenital condition where the ulna bone in the forearm is underdeveloped or absent, causing the hand to appear rotated or curved outward. This deformity often results in limited movement and abnormal positioning of the thumb and fingers, affecting hand function. It may occur alone or as part of other syndromes. The severity varies, and treatment options include physical therapy, splinting, or surgery to improve hand alignment and function. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to help maximize the hand's use and appearance.
