Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/DrEbraheim_UTMC Find me on Instagram @OrthoInitiative Camptodactyly Camptodactyly is a fixed flexion deformity at the PIP joint of the little finger. The condition is an autosomal dominant trait involving permanent flexion of the little finger. Camptodactyly may also be bilateral affecting multiple digits. Unilateral 1/3 of the time and bilateral 2/3 of the time. Camptodactyly occurs in less than 1% of the population, and it may be associated with several congenital syndromes. Camptodactyly may be caused by abnormal lumbricals and flexor digitorum superficialis insertion. Severe camptodactyly may cause difficulty in grasping objects. Clinodactyly is congenital curvature of the digit in the radioulnar plane. Treatment should be done early with splinting, passive stretching, and physical therapy. Surgery may be needed if the deformity is flexible, the patient may need tenotomy or tendon transfer. If the deformity is severe and fixed, the patient may need osteotomy or arthrodesis.
