Congenital anomalies of the upper limb are in Denmark estimated to have an incidence of around 20 in 10,000 live births. This covers a wide array of conditions summarised in this review. At the time of referral, the patient is thoroughly examined, and a treatment plan is discussed with the family. In some cases, no treatment is needed, in others there might be a need for surgery, night splinting, or an upper limb prosthesis. In case an underlying syndromatic cause is suspected, the patient is referred for paediatric evaluation at specialized centre.
