Abstract

This report deals with a case of bilateral, symmetrical shortening of the index fingers and first toes combined with valgus deformities and extra bones. The malformations were present at birth. The hands and feet are normal in every other respect. The brachydactylia in this instance is apparently a recessive characteristic. No similar malformations in the other members of the family or in the maternal genealogical tree were found.
