Abstract
Congenital syndactyly is associated with a wide spectrum of local anomalies that strongly influence the ultimate outcome of treatment. Surgical options, indications, timing, and prognosis are all determined by the preoperative degree of deformity. The surgeon must apply knowledge of anatomic variations and adhere to fundamental principles of technique, which are reviewed in detail.
