Syndactyly

“Syndactyly is the medical term for webbed or conjoined fingers or toes. It’s one of the most common congenital differences that affects hands and feet. Syndactyly occurs in about one in every 2,000-3,000 children born each year with up to 50% of cases being bilateral.
Syndactyly is described as simple or complex. Simple syndactyly means that the fingers are joined by skin and soft tissue only. Complex syndactyly means that the underlying bones are also joined together. Complicated syndactyly means that there are extra bones, and the tendons and ligaments have developed abnormally. Syndactyly can be treated with surgery to separate the joined fingers for functional purposes. Typically, children have this operation between 1 and 2 years old.”
