title: Brachydactyly in acrosyndactyly.
abstract: Metacarpal and phalangeal length were determined in thirty-five patients with constriction band syndrome and acrosyndactyly. Shortening of the remaining phalanges is a consistent component of acrosyndactyly and gives additional functional disability.
