One in 20 children is born with some hand difference. These can be either major or minor. Some possible differences include missing parts (failure of formation), webbed or fused parts of the hand (failures of separation), extra parts in the hand (duplication), or parts that are larger or smaller than normal. During fetal development, the upper limb is formed between four and eight weeks of pregnancy.
