title: [Syndactylia recurrences and their treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: Recurrences following correction of syndactylia are usually the result of inappropriate skin incisions, or of delayed wound healing. These recurrences are examplified by interdigital cutaneous and scar bridges which may result in contractures of even rotational deformities as the result of growth. Early and late syndactylia recurrences can be differentiated. Early operative treatment is recommended and splints and bandages or similar conservative measures are useless. Considerable experience, suitable instruments and adequate surgical technique are required for these corrections.
