title: Type II syndactyly or synpolydactyly.
abstract: A family with syndactyly type II or synpolydactyly is described. The autosomal dominant inheritance is confirmed by this pedigree. In combination of this anomaly a brachymesophalangia of the fifth finger was inherited by most family members. The duplicated phalanx was resected and the syndactyly separated in the proband with excellent functional and cosmetic results.
