Common manifestations: it is usually noticed by short fingers or fingers with unusual proportions, differences in the size of the hands or feet, and, in some cases, limitation of certain fine movements.

Why does it occur? It has an origin linked to development and, often, to hereditary factors that influence the formation of the skeleton from early ages.

Who to evaluate it with? Follow-up usually draws on the pediatrician and the pediatric endocrinologist for growth, and on the orthopedist or the hand surgeon when the function or shape of the limb requires attention. It is best to discuss any concern with these professionals to understand the individual case.
