Hands and feet in the Apert syndrome.

Department of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

We studied 44 pairs of hands and 37 pairs of feet in Apert syndrome, utilizing clinical, dermatoglyphic, and radiographic methods. We also studied histologic sections of the hand from a 31-week stillborn fetus. Topic headings discussed include: clinical classification of syndactyly; correlations between types of hands and feet in the same patient; dermatoglyphics; anatomy of the hand; radiologic assessment; comparison with other studies; histologic assessment of the hand; acrocephalosyndactyly vs. acrocephalopolysyndactyly: a pseudodistinction; and some generalizations.
