Abstract: Background. In this research present an overview covering hand malformations in an isolated form or as part of a syndrome, based on anatomic and genetic observations and taking into account the significance of recent molecular and developmental data. Accordingly, the current research will focus on conditions with known molecular and genetic causes, refraining from a surgical classification. Objective The current study was conducted to assess the Impact of Congenital Hand Anomalies on Consanguinity at Selected Surgical Units, King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Saudi Arabia Method. A Descriptive research design was utilized with implementation of retrospective research method. The aim of this study was to find out the most common congenital hand anomaly in King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital Jeddah and the association of family history and consanguinity with congenital hand anomaly. The data collection was performed with utilization a retrospective epidemiological study in 70 cases all data in this study were validated by a thorough examination of medical records and available radiographs. Results. The findings of the current study showed that the about half of the patients presented to study setting were Saudis (55.1 %), Yemenis comes in second place. Males represent 60.9 % of the sample accounting for 42 patients. The majority of the patients were born in Jeddah. It was found that Polydactyly is the most common congenital hand anomaly seen in the clinic among the other anomalies accounting for 54 out of 69 patients (78.3 %). Not all patients were reachable to obtain the missing information or some were undocumented, so we summarized them with different total numbers for each variable. Moreover, the data revealed that, (68.6 %) were presented in the first 2 years of life, that give advantages include potential for growth, development, and better scarring. Regarding consanguinity and family history, it was positive in (60 %) & (48 %) respectively. Conclusions The current study results revealed that there were Polydactyly is the most common congenital hand anomaly seen in the clinic among the other anomalies within the study setting.
