Detailed surgical timetable recommended for comprehensive treatment planning 1.Special Populations
No specific management guidelines provided for pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or comorbidities in the given abstracts 1.Key Recommendations
Perform surgical management of upper extremity anomalies based on individualized treatment plans to address functional deficits 1 (Evidence: Moderate).
