Symbrachydactyly is a genetical problem occurred to newborn where the newborn experienced underdeveloped or shorten fingers. This condition will limit their normal as even a simple task of holding an item or pushing a button. A device is needed to help them gain a better life. The aim of this project is to fabricate a customized prosthesis hand using 3D printing technology at minimum cost. The proposed prosthetic was not embedded with any electrical component. The patient can only use the wrist to control the prosthetic part which is the prosthetic fingers. The prosthetic hand was also being developed with the patient specific features, which the initial design stage was adapted from a person’s hand geometry using a 3D scanner. Next the model of the prosthesis was analyzed computationally to predict the performance of the product. Different material properties are considered in the analysis to present Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) materials. Then, the prosthesis was fabricated using the 3D printing. The results suggested that PLA material indicated better findings and further be fabricated.

“…Regardless, congenital hand deformities develop during the 4–8 weeks following fertilization [ 7 ]. Symbrachydactyly results from defective axial differentiation or formation of the hand plate and the limb in its entirety [ 6 , 8 ]. The underlying aetiology is usually unknown but a popular hypothesis as proposed by Bavinck and Weaver is dysgenesis of the subclavian artery in what they termed subclavian artery supply disruption sequence (SASDS) [ 9 ].…”

“…The underlying aetiology is usually unknown but a popular hypothesis as proposed by Bavinck and Weaver is dysgenesis of the subclavian artery in what they termed subclavian artery supply disruption sequence (SASDS) [ 9 ]. Symbrachydactyly is usually not a component of a genetic abnormality [ 8 ] in the same way that many cases of hypodactyly are idiopathic [ 3 ]. Symbrachydactyly was first described by Alfred Poland in 1841, and he named the concurrent occurrence of symbrachydactyly and absent/hypoplastic pectoralis major muscle ‘Poland syndrome’, [ 8 ] which is usually sporadic, although a few familial cases have been reported [ 10 ].…”

Background Prenatal ultrasonography for the detection of fetal structural anomaly is an important component of antenatal care. During the assessment, proximal limb deformities are readily diagnosed. Distal limb, especially digit, abnormalities, however, may be difficult to detect, particularly if the ultrasonography is performed in the third trimester, and the deformity is unilateral and isolated. Case A 24-year-old primigravida booked for antenatal care with a general practitioner had threatened miscarriage at 12 weeks of gestation, and at 34 weeks was referred to an obstetrician for further care and delivery. The growth ultrasonographic examination was normal but at 40 weeks of gestation she developed antepartum haemorrhage of unknown origin. She had a caesarean delivery and a female baby with “rudimentary” left fingers (“isolated symbrachydactyly”) was delivered. The parents were counselled and they declined further assessment of the baby by a hand surgeon and a clinical geneticist. At 3 years of age, the baby had normal development and “is using her hand even without fingers,” according to the mother. Conclusion Collaborative goal-directed antenatal care that involves different categories of healthcare professionals, but particularly a certified sonologist who performs fetal anomaly ultrasonography, is essential for the detection of congenital hand defects. Adequate counselling is essential for the satisfaction of the baby's family.

“…For instance, for a child with a hand with either 5 short mobile digits or aphalangia, management focuses on activity training and supporting the development of healthy self-esteem. The child with a hand in the middle of the morphologic spectrum may benefit from surgery to improve opposition, grip strength, or digit mobility or stability, such as syndactyly release, web-space deepening, joint fusion, nubbin excision, phalanx lengthening, toe phalanx transfer, and neurovascular transfer of a toe or toes 7 . However, the functional benefit of these procedures is difficult to estimate, as the function of children with symbrachydactyly has not been well described.…”
