This is the most common situation, in which the extra digit is on the ulnar side of the hand, thus the side of the little finger. This can also be called postaxial polydactyly. It can manifest itself very subtly, for instance only as a nubbin on the ulnar side of the little finger, or very distinctly, as a fully developed finger.
Most common form of brachydactyly. It shortens the final bone in the thumbs and does not affect the fingers at all. [9] Type E, BDE: 113300: HOXD13: 2q31-q32: Brachydactyly type E. This is the rarest form of brachydactyly. It is most often part of another condition that someone is born with. Type E shortens the bones in the hands and feet along ...
The ring finger followed by the little and middle fingers are most commonly affected. [2] It can affect one or both hands. [8] The condition can interfere with activities such as preparing food, writing, putting the hand in a tight pocket, putting on gloves, or shaking hands.

Wartenberg's sign is a neurological sign consisting of involuntary abduction of the fifth (little) finger, caused by unopposed action of the extensor digiti minimi. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This commonly results from weakness of some of the ulnar nerve innervated intrinsic hand muscles -in particular the palmar interosseous muscle to the little finger ...
Typical hand was manifest in the complete or incomplete absence of the middle finger [21] Atypical hand had a more severe manifestation in which there was varying absence of the central index, middle and ring finger rays [21] V-shaped cleft [6] U-shaped cleft [6] One to four limbs involved [6] One limb involved (no feet) [6] Higher incidence [16]
Thumb hypoplasia is a spectrum of congenital abnormalities of the thumb varying from small defects to complete absence of the thumb. [1] It can be isolated, when only the thumb is affected, and in 60% of the cases [2] it is associated with radial dysplasia [1] (or radial club, radius dysplasia, longitudinal radial deficiency).
