Syndactyly is a genetic anomaly, which is characterized by a defect in the development of fingers or toes, leading to their connection in places not intended by nature. This anomaly usually occurs due to incomplete separation (segregation) of certain parts or development of the embryo. As a result of it, a person can be born with two real fingers of one hand, and on his palm there can be a membrane from one limb, only partially divided, or from two limbs.
These abnormalities can occur in any part of the body, but they most often appear in the hand and foot, especially on the outer surface at or above the last phalanx. Adjacent digits (usually the fifth and sixth digits) are usually affected. There may be abnormal arches on the palm or foot of such a person that interfere with the proper development of such fingers. Syndactyly can occur in a person born with abnormal development of one of these fingers (most often the sixth), or when the syndrome runs in a family genetically, which is associated with an inherited genetic defect. A person with syndactyly or a similar anomaly may experience difficulty moving their joint, as well as having bowel movements and menstruation. He may be experiencing
