What is syndactyly?<\/h2>\n
Syndactyly<\/strong> is a congenital<\/strong> malformation<\/strong> of bilateral genetic origin<\/strong> or it can occur sporadically. or it may occur sporadically.<\/strong> It occurs in both hands and feet, so that they are It occurs in both hands and feet, so that the soft (simple) parts of the feet and hands are joined together, or there may even be cases of bony union (bony union). cases of bony union (complex). All this is due to a failure in embryonic development<\/strong>. Its prevalence is 3-10 cases per 10,000 births, mostly in males (2,3).<\/p>\n Finger<\/strong> involvement is variable. In terms of treatment, there are several options: surgical<\/strong>to avoid impingement of the longest toe due to footwear, or in the other footwear, or in the other spaces if there are no functional abnormalities, an observational treatment is chosen. observational treatment.<\/strong> The children’s families are informed of the risks, especially in terms of scarring (keloids) in the event of surgical treatment (4).<\/p>\n Several techniques are used for simple<\/strong> and complex<\/strong> congenital<\/strong> syndactyly<\/strong>, in order to free up the necessary space between the affected fingers and thus allow independent functionality (5).<\/p>\n Some syndromes associated with this pathology are ectrodactyly syndrome,<\/strong> ectodermal dysplasia<\/strong> and ectodermal dysplasia, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip\/palate.<\/strong> It affects the hands<\/strong>but syndactyly also occurs syndactyly<\/strong>also occurs in the toes (third and fourth; fourth and fifth toes) (6,7,8).<\/p>\n Other scientific studies have demonstrated its association with the syndrome of Poland syndrome, which occurs in this case in the fingers. It is the most frequent of all syndromes that present syndactyly.<\/p>\n On the other hand,<\/strong> we are presented with cases of simple incomplete syndactyly which is This may be due to a structural alteration of the forefoot, such as the first metatarsal. such as the case of the short first metatarsal, showing a false image of syndactyly (9,10,11).<\/p>\n Apert’s syndrome<\/strong> is characterised by premature closure of the cranial sutures, which results in sutures, resulting in consequent malformations of the face, hands and feet. This condition<\/strong>is of concern in such a way that syndactylies appear. It is of congenital congenital and is considered a rare disease<\/p>\n This pathology can appear bilaterally and symmetrically,<\/strong> thus associating bony syndactyly with membranous syndactyly (14,15).<\/p>\n The diagnosis of this type of pathology should be made as early as possible<\/strong> in order to be able to act and rapid action<\/strong> can then be taken to initiate treatment. Astrong emphasis<\/strong> is placed on prevention, as we know that the disease is preceded by very advanced paternal age (15,16).<\/p>\n One of the repercussions of a late diagnosis may be the risk<\/strong> of airway compromise<\/strong>, hearing<\/strong>and eye movements or evenIQ compromise.<\/strong> Early surgeries are therefore recommended for age ranges and stages of the disease are therefore recommended. In the case of syndactyly of the feet orthopaedic and plastic treatments are offered in order to relieve the soft tissue involvement, together with the soft tissue involvement, together with the possibility of performing toe clamping with the “thumb pinching” (17,18,19).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_text_separator title=”Bibliography” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book” i_background_style=”rounded-outline” color=”blue” add_icon=”true”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”rgba(16,61,92,0.04)” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[43,45,44],"class_list":{"0":"post-6404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scientific-posts","8":"tag-enfermedades-en","9":"tag-ninos-en","10":"tag-pies-en"},"yoast_head":"\n![\"SINDACTILIA-EN-NINO\"](\"https:\/\/isbipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SINDACTILIA-EN-NINOS.jpg\")
