In most cases, children born with symbrachydactyly are able to adapt to their physical limitations and experience a fully functional life with no treatment. Most children with this condition can use their hands well enough to do all the usual things children do. [3] Possible treatment includes surgery or a routine of regularly stretching the ...
Other physical abnormalities associated with Carpenter syndrome include extra digits. Extra toes are more commonly seen than fingers.

Widely spaced eyes, prominent forehead, flat skull posterior, bulging eyes, low-set ears, flat or concave face, short thumb, and webbed fingers: FGFR2: Isolated unilateral coronal synostosis: Only malformation is the premature fusion of sutures; If left untreated, can lead to facial asymmetry resembling SCS: FGFR (any) Baller–Gerold syndrome ...
