  • Title: Symphalangism associated with constriction rings: syndactyly and brachytelophalangy in a black patient.
    Author: Siemian WR, Greider JL.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1986 Nov; 11(6):841-3. PubMed ID: 3025285.
    Abstract:
    A 7-year-old girl presented with symptoms of constriction ring syndrome, syndactyly, and brachytelophalangy in the presence of proximal unilateral symphalangism. Physical findings revealed previous surgical correction of constriction rings of the right index and long fingers, a short right thumb with a hypoplastic distal phalanx, a shortened long finger with a stiff proximal interphalangeal joint and characteristic absence of skin creases, and incomplete syndactyly of the right first, second, and third web spaces. A brief review of symphalangism and a surgical treatment plan are presented. This is believed to be the first case report of symphalangism in a black patient with multiple congenital anomalies.
