To review the types of upper limb congenital differences in patients seen in a tertiary hospital in Jordan and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oberg-Manske-Tonkin (OMT) system. ⋯ The malformation category constituted most of the congenital upper extremity difference in this study. Radial polydactyly was the most common in this category. Considering the regional differences, the need for a well-established healthcare infrastructure is a vital step toward managing and improving the outcomes of these patients.
