A member asked:
Are abnormally long fingers a medical concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Isolated long fingers are usually of no concern. There is a condition called arachnodactyly which can be associated with other conditions - i.e. Marfans, etc. If you are concerned, might i suggest a consultation with a pediatrician, plastic surgeon or geneticist.
