Complex syndactyly occurs as part of a syndrome (such as Apert syndrome) and typically involves more digits than simple syndactyly. Fenestrated syndactyly, also known as acrosyndactyly or terminal syndactyly, [ 3 ] means the skin is joined for most of the digit but in a proximal area there are gaps in the syndactyly with normal skin.

Cleft hand can appear unilateral or bilateral, [6] and can appear isolated or associated with a syndrome.
