Pseudo-ainhum; Streeter's dysplasia; Amniotic band sequence; Amniotic band syndrome Treatment Treatment widely varies. Often, the deformity is not severe and no treatment is needed. In more serious cases, major surgery may be needed to reconstruct all or part of an arm or leg. Support Groups Expectations (prognosis) How well the infant does depends on the severity of the disease. Most cases are mild and the outlook for normal function is excellent. More severe cases have more guarded outcomes. Complications Complications can include complete or partial loss of function of an arm or a leg. Congenital bands affecting the hand often cause the most problems.
