Polydactyly
The orthopedist, particularly the pediatric orthopedist, is usually the specialist who evaluates polydactyly, a congenital condition present from birth.
Polydactyly consists of the presence of one or more extra fingers on the hands or toes on the feet, which may be fully formed or just a small bud of tissue.
Characteristics: The extra digit varies in size and structure; at times it is associated with a family history and, less frequently, with other developmental conditions.
Which specialists treat it? In addition to the orthopedist, the hand surgeon and the plastic surgeon may be involved, depending on the features of each case. If a newborn has extra digits, a professional evaluation will help guide the family on the available options.
