A condition in which two toes or fingers are joined together with tissue.
A birth defect in which two or more fingers or (more commonly) toes-are joined together, sometimes joined by the skin only but sometimes with bones and skin fused and a single nail. Many forms of syndactyly are inherited, and they affect boys more than girls, but some may be caused by constriction of the fetus within the uterus.
Congenital defect characterized by partial or total webbing of some or all of the fingers and toes.
An inherited condition of the feet and hands in which webs appear between fingers and toes. Variations of syndactyly include webbing that extends from the base of the fingers or toes to the tip (complete syndactyly) and complicated syndactyly, in which the bones or nails of the fingers or toes are fused. Syndactyly can affect one, two, or three pairs of fingers or toes.
Congenital fusion of the fingers or toes. It varies in severity from no more than marked webbing of two or more fingers to virtually complete union of all the digits.
A congenital condition in which two or more fingers or toes are fused together to a varying extent. The condition is popularly known as webbed fingers (or toes).
The fusion, usually congenital, of one or more fingers or toes.
A congenital anomaly characterized by the fusion of two or more fingers, or more frequently, toes. Syndactyly is frequently inherited and displays a higher occurrence among males. In less severe instances, neighboring digits (fingers or toes) are connected by a thin layer of skin, while in more severe cases, the bones themselves are merged. Surgical intervention to separate the affected digits is often carried out during early childhood.
