Congenital Deformities of the Hand
Hi, here is a post about some of the congenital hand deformities. Some of the pictures are large, sorry. They were the best ones I could find. I found a really neat specimen displaying polydactyly (extra fingers). The especially fascinating part is that one of the distal phalanges also branches off. ![]() This one is of the toes, which are also phalanges. ![]() ![]() One extra finger, but with no bones or anything. She also included it when she polished her nails! Notice how each side is a reflection of the other. ![]() Clinodactyly is horizontally curved fingers. ![]() Camptodactyly is vertically curved fingers. ![]() Syndactyly is characterized by fused phalanges. ![]() Not all syndactyly is total fusion. A milder form is characterized by webbed fingers and/or toes. X-ray of syndactyly in a child. ![]() Here is a twisted (as opposed to side-by-side) case. ![]() ![]() Syndactyly and polydactyly are not mutually exclusive; they can be comorbid (simultaneous conditions). ![]() I'm not sure what this curvature of the wrist is called. Does anyone else, please? ![]() Hand cleft. Occurs because of a missing finger. ![]() More severe case (more missing fingers). ![]() Volar side hand cleft. ![]() Ectrodactyly X-ray. Colloquially known as lobster-claw syndrome. ![]() Familial ectrodactyly. ![]() ![]() X-ray of ectrodactyly. ![]() To finish this series: Syndactyly, polydactyly, ectrodactyly, clinodactyly and hand cleft all in one. |

Re: Congenital Deformities of the Hand
All should be put down, how disgusting.
