Webbed fingers
Webbed fingers refer to hands that have an enlarged amount of skin and soft tissue between fingers, near the hand. In the womb, all of the fingers begin fused, and the tissue connecting the fingers gradually disappears. Webbed fingers occur when this tissue does not completely disappear.
