Workup
Because of the mild enlargement, its nonprogressive nature, and the absence of other abnormalities, no further workup (such as muscle biopsy or search for a somatic mutation in PIK3CA) was performed. [karger.com]
Treatment
Knowledge of these aspects provides useful guidelines for a prompt diagnosis, choosing the most appropriate surgical procedure for treatment. [link.springer.com]

Treatment For small but otherwise normal thumbs, no treatment is necessary. Greater degrees of under-development require surgical reconstruction. [dellchildrens.net]
The goal of surgical treatment is to restore as much function to the affected area as possible. Surgical treatment is decided on a case-by-case basis. [uofmhealth.org]

Prognosis
Prognosis of Congenital Radioulnar Synostosis Overall, surgical treatment has high failure rates. [boneandspine.com]

Prognosis A congenital limb deficiency has a profound effect on the life of the child and his or her parents. [healthofchildren.com]
Despite several treatment modalities, late presentation, local beliefs, the paucity of equipment, and cost of treatment may equally limit the choice of intervention and render poor prognosis. 2. [file.scirp.org]
There is a variable phenotypic expression and, consequently, the prognosis varies from neonatal death, due to pulmonary hypoplasia, to normal survival. [sonoworld.com]
Etiology
Conclusion The diagnosis of congenital gangrene in this child was purely clinical and maternal diabetes with associated hypertension an etiological possibility. [njssjournal.org]
Although the etiology is presently unknown, there is a strong hereditary pattern and a greater prevalence in females. [woodsholemuseum.org]
The etiology is unknown and does not seem to be confined to a peripheral nerve, part of the plexus or nerve root. The condition is assumed to be congenital. [karger.com]
With transverse or longitudinal deficiency, depending on the etiology, infants may also have hypoplastic or bifid bones, synostoses, duplications, dislocations, or other bony defects; for example, in proximal femoral focal deficiency, the proximal femur [merckmanuals.com]

Prevention There is no known way to prevent congenital amputations, but the prevention of birth defects in general begins with the well being of the mother before and during pregnancy. [healthofchildren.com]
These involve excision of synostosis and interposition of inert tissue to prevent reformation of synostosis, However, synostosis typically recurs inspite of the interposition of silicone, fat, or muscle. [boneandspine.com]
