A member asked:
My husband when he was born a couple of his fingers were webbed together and he had surgery to fix them im worried my baby will get it. could he?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Syndactyly, webbed fingers are usually a sporadic occurrence ; not hereditary. Thus chances that your baby will have webbed fingers is quite remote. Worst case scenario is that surgery is usually quite straightforward. Good luck.
