Clinodactyly


Clinodactyly is a medical term describing a bend or curvature of the fifth fingers (the “little fingers”) toward the adjacent fourth fingers. It is a fairly common isolated anomaly which often goes unnoticed, but also occurs in combination with other abnormalities in many genetic syndromes, such as Russell-Silver syndrome or Down Syndrome.
