ABSTRACT

Syndactyly is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the extremities. It consists of a digital malformation in which the adjacent fingers and/or toes are fused by a failure to separate them during gestational development. This can be classified as complete (up to the fingertips) or incomplete and simple (cutaneous) or complex (with bony fusion). The complicated form involves a significant alteration of the digital anatomy and is usually syndromic. The importance of timely diagnosis and treatment lies in the cosmetic and functional impact of the hand, being the main working tool of the human being, and given its complex anatomy and function, which differentiates us from other species, it is imperative the correction before the sequelae phase, being necessary in the vast majority of cases surgical treatment.
