Most candidates hope they will never get asked about congenital hand "differences" (as they are referred to now), but because of their aetiology, associations, dramatic radiological imaging and clinical appearances, examiners find them hard to resist. But how much are you really expected to know about them? How do you describe/classify them nowadays? And how do you go about assessing a young child with such a problem when formal examination and tests are difficult or impossible to perform? Join us as we discuss all this and more with Lorenzo Garagnani, Consultant Hand Surgeon at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and president of the Paediatric Hand International Society of Surgeons, and get a handle on how to make a good assessment of these potentially tricky cases in the exam.
