N2 - In order to explore the influence of an isolated congenital hand malformation on psychomotor development, we performed an exploratory, observational study on 18 children with triphalangeal thumbs. The investigative procedure consisted of a hand function examination, a semi-structured interview with the mother about the development of the child, the so-called "Hand test", and the "Child Behaviour Check List". Our observations suggest specific developmental difficulties in fine motor skills and language development, but the children showed no signs of behavioural psychopathology.
