Presentation
A family is presented in which five individuals in four generations have shown variable expression of distal symphalangism in hands and feet. The mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Presentation of Symphalangism The congenital stiffness of the digits is the main presentation. The disorder is characterized by a lack of motion of the affected joint in the finger. [boneandspine.com]
