Abstract:   (107 Views)
Syndactyly is a common inherited and clinically heterogeneous malformation which can be syndromic or non-syndromic. It also varies phenotypically between the families. In this study, we present twins who experienced bilateral syndactyly and underwent reconstruction using the Gilbert method. These female twin toddlers were referred to Hazrat Fatemeh Clinic of Hand Surgery in Tehran, Iran, in 2022 with bilateral syndactyly of the middle and ring fingers. In both, fingers were fused along their entire length. One of them underwent the separation of the middle finger and ring finger of the right hand by the Jibert method, and the other underwent surgery for the separation of her left hand at the age of one and a half. She was presented with a contracture of the middle finger and third web space, corrected with a Z-plasty of the middle finger and the V-M flap for the web space.
