Doctors at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital have restored functional hand use of a toddler born with severe congenital thumb deformities. The complex two-stage reconstructive microsurgery has given her the gift of touch, grip, and independence.

Varidhi Varunsingh Thakur, now 13 months old, was born without a left thumb and with a severely underdeveloped right thumb lacking sufficient bone and muscle and went through two surgeries. This condition significantly impaired her ability to develop essential motor skills such as grasping and pinching. The first surgery was performed in December 2025, and the second in February 2026.
