Congenital hand deformities are conditions a child is born with that affect the structure, function, or appearance of the hand. These can impact a child’s ability to grasp, play, write, or perform daily tasks, and in some cases, cause emotional or social distress.

At Grandville Medical & Laser, we offer expert diagnosis and surgical correction of congenital hand conditions, with a focus on improving hand function, independence, and aesthetics.

Our team combines reconstructive plastic surgery, pediatric orthopedic care, and rehabilitation support to help each child — and family — navigate treatment with confidence.
