Presentation
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.com]
10 Sub-sections are presented below, each section covers a different aspect involving the meaning of finger lengths. The continuation of this page presents a quick summary for each section. [handresearch.com]
The patient did not present with other malformations or complains requiring any further evaluation. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Accordingly, the purpose of these diagrams is to present images of the common polydactyly, syndactyly and brachydactly malformations that have been described. [peds.ufl.edu]
Although rudimentary proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is present, clinically this joint is stiff. In ring, long, and index fingers, no PIP joint is present, and symphalangism is present between middle and proximal phalanges. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Psychiatrical
- Manic Behavior
I looked and looked to see if there's some association between manic behavior or other kind of strange behavioral traits, and I have not been able to find anything. So he's just a man with small, small hands? Yes, exactly… small metacarpals. [esquire.com]
Neurologic
- Polyneuropathy
Type A1 brachydactyly, short stature, hearing loss, microcephaly, mental retardation and ptosis Atypical facial clefting in a patient with Goltz syndrome Congenital aplasia of the extensor muscles of the fingers and thumb associated with generalized polyneuropathy [documents.mx]
Workup
In the case of our patient, no further workup was considered. Her brachydactyly was categorized as type E in Bell’s classification system. [consultant360.com]
Treatment
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]
Treatment depends on the degree of absence of the fingers. Children with a competent thumb, and the presence of any finger, generally do not require treatment because they develop a hand pinch with time. [cirugiamanoinfantil.com]
Treatment For small but otherwise normal thumbs, no treatment is necessary. Greater degrees of under-development require surgical reconstruction. [dellchildrens.net]

[…] brachydactyly usually is transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern, with variable penetrance. 3 The literature is scarce on the incidence of concomitant brachymetacarpia and brachymetatarsia. 4 Mild brachydactyly often is insignificant in terms of functional prognosis [consultant360.com]
Prognosis greatly depends on: • The extent of the disease. • The response to therapy. • Age and overall health of the child. • Your child's tolerance of specific procedures or therapies. • New developments in treatment. [texaschildrens.org]
Prognosis Isolated BD generally has an excellent prognosis. When BD is associated with other health problems or is part of another condition, the overall prognosis depends upon the nature of the associated condition. [encyclopedia.com]
Etiology
Hand Malformations Hand and finger malformations represent a challenging area of clinical genetics from the standpoint of understanding the classification as well as in understanding the genetic etiologies, which are often due to single gene mutations [peds.ufl.edu]
Etiology unknown manifests at gestational week 6-8 Genetics depends on the specific type of brachydactyly Defects in: Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), Indian Hedgehog (IHH), and HOX have been identified Incidence in general it is rare however in types [posna.org]

There is no known way that the mother can cause her child to have symbrachydactyly, and no way she can prevent it. Symbrachydactyly is not genetic, so it does not run in families. I know that no one else in my family has it. [healdove.com]
In some cases physical and occupational therapy are required to help maximize usage of the arm and prevent muscle tightening. [dellchildrens.net]
Our radiologists have special expertise using ultrasound to look for bone and joint changes so we can work with your child to help prevent future problems. [seattlechildrens.org]
