Polydactyly is a genetic birth disorder that affects the fingers of infants in both of the hands and toes. This disorder is rare, and can be used to correct surgery, after which rarely have long-lasting or signs.
Polydactyly is characterized by the appearance of a sixth or more fingers on both hands and feet in a newborn. Generally tends to be a small piece of soft tissue, although there are times you have bone without joints, and occasionally we can find the case of a fully functional sixth finger.
This sixth finger is usually next to the pinky finger and is usually a branch of a normal finger. The disorder may appear alone, without symptoms or disease and is usually due to a gene that is passed from father to son.
Although this disorder may be symptoms of more serious disease such as Syndrome Carpenter Syndrome Elis-Van Creveld syndrome or Rubinstein-Taiby. So when a child is born with this condition is to run several tests to rule out disease, and if the polidactia which has only manifested in the appearance of another appendix, one can resort to surgery, and there is no signal.
