What Is The Treatment For Curved Thumbs?
I am a 53 yr old woman and as far back as I can remember I have had weak thumbs...that sounds strange, but I cannot hold them straight with the rest of my fingers. The thumbs curve outward. I read somewhere about cortical thumbs in babies. I don t have any other health problems. Any ideas on splitting, or exercises that might help?

Madam I fail to understand your symptoms, are these thumbs such form the birth or have they occurred afterwards, and when. What I can understand is that you have hypermobile joints where the thumb dorsal aspect can touch the hand, if it is so this is not unusual, and you need to tell us what difficulty you have with work with these thumb so that we can sought a solution for you
