Webbed Fingers (or toes); properly called syndactyly, a deformity present at birth and which tends to run in families. The web may be quite a thin structure, or the fingers may be closely united by solid tissue. In any case, separation is a matter of considerable difficulty, because, if the web is simply divided, it heals up as before. Surgery is necessary to turn back a flap of the web upon each of the united fingers, or some other device to encourage healing in the new position.A congenital condition in which some or all of the fingers are fused; syndactylism.
