Abstract
According to the everyday use of ultrasound in the whole field of paediatric surgery we would like to define its potential role in the assessment of congenital hand malformation (CHM). We therefore tested it for several diagnoses like digitus saltans, camptodactylism, triphalangeal thumb and syndrome-associated malformations in comparison as well as in addition to clinical and x-ray findings. All soft and bony tissue details could be displayed reasonable giving the paediatric surgeon additional information. Additional information that is available at the bedside, non-invasive, less costly and does not use ionising radiation.
