Let me explain: Camptodactyly: it effect the little finger one or both, middle joint and is permanent, and inherited. So if your daughter have this deformity the diagnosis's campodactly. Dupytrans rear in children but have reported it could effect any part of the hand, any finger and progressive in type with time.

HIGHLY unlikely: This is probably camptodactyly. See a hand suugeon for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Camptylodactyly : Will be the more common and probable diagnosis affecting the pip joint and without any cord involvement.
