Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the upper limb affect approximately 0.1 % of all newborns [1, 2]. The birth of a child with a visible difference invariably has a significant impact on the family. For the child to adjust well to their difference, the family needs to come to terms with the differences in their child early on so they can support them as they grow.
