Purpose: While determining functional outcomes in children with thumb aplasia following pollicization,
we discovered it difficult to determine outcome due to little information on functional
dexterity and strength in children. In addition, we were unable to find a qualitative
evaluation to evaluate the child's perception of functional outcome following surgical
intervention for either congenital hand difference or traumatic injury. Our purpose
was to evaluate the validity of the Child Rated Assessment of Hand Function (CRAHF)
in evaluating the child's perception of hand function related to their parent's perception.
We also evaluated these outcomes for a group of children following index pollicization
for thumb aplasia.
