Also known as: ulnar clubhand, radial dysplasia.
Ulnar club hand is a condition in which a child’s wrist is bent in the direction of the pinky finger. It’s a congenital difference that is present at birth.
The cause of ulnar club hand is not entirely clear. It develops in the womb early on.
Symptoms of ulnar club hand can range from a mild tilt of the wrist to a severe deformity in which the wrist is bent severely and the hand is malformed and possibly missing fingers. The ulna can also be absent in some cases.
Some cases of ulnar club hand can be resolved with stretching exercises and splinting or casting to correct the position of the hand. The splint may need to be worn for a few years to resolve the problems. Other cases of ulnar club hand may require surgical treatment.
