Hands in Apert syndrome with syndactyly

All acrocephalosyndactyly syndromes show some level of limb anomalies, so it can be hard to tell them apart. However, the typical hand deformities in patients with Apert syndrome distinguish it from the other syndromes. The hands in patients with Apert syndrome always show four common features: 🔹a short thumb with radial deviation 🔹complex syndactyly of the index, long and ring finger 🔹symbrachyphalangism 🔹simple syndactyly of the fourth webspace The deformity of the space between the index finger and the thumb may be variable.
