Syndactyly type 3 is a congenital condition in which two or more fingers or toes are fused together. It is the most common type of syndactyly, and is usually characterized by the fusion of the second, third, and fourth digits. The fusion may involve the skin, bones, and/or joints.

The symptoms of Syndactyly type 3 include:

-Fused fingers or toes
-Webbing between the fingers or toes
-Abnormal nail growth
-Abnormal skin texture
-Abnormal joint movement
-Abnormal bone growth
-Abnormal muscle development
-Abnormal tendon development
-Abnormal nerve development
-Abnormal blood vessel development
-Abnormal lymphatic development
-Abnormal sweat gland development
-Abnormal sensory development
-Abnormal motor development
-Abnormal reflex development
-Abnormal balance and coordination

Syndactyly type 3 is caused by a genetic mutation. It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed for a person to be affected by the condition. Other causes of syndactyly type 3 include environmental factors, such as exposure to certain medications or chemicals during pregnancy, or a chromosomal abnormality.

The most common treatment for Syndactyly type 3 is surgical separation of the fused digits. This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia and involves cutting the webbing between the digits and then closing the skin with sutures. In some cases, skin grafts may be necessary to cover the area. Other treatments may include physical therapy to help improve range of motion and strength in the affected digits.

1. Family history of syndactyly
2. Genetic mutations
3. Maternal diabetes
4. Maternal use of certain medications during pregnancy
5. Maternal alcohol or drug use during pregnancy
6. Maternal exposure to certain environmental toxins during pregnancy
7. Premature birth
8. Low birth weight
9. Certain chromosomal abnormalities

At this time, there is no cure for Syndactyly type 3. However, there are surgical options available to separate the fused digits. Medications are not typically used to treat Syndactyly type 3.
