Abstract

Clinical features of congenital hypoplastic and extension contractures of the little finger were studied. There are eight groups. Characteristic features of each group are described. Each type has distinguishable clinical features in typical cases, but in some cases the condition of shortening of the phalanges and narrowing of the joint space is not clear.
