Syndactyly type 2 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 webbing between the affected digits.

The symptoms of Syndactyly type 2 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 sensation in the affected area

Syndactyly type 2 is caused by a genetic mutation in the gene that controls the development of the hands and feet. It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to cause the condition. Other causes of syndactyly type 2 include environmental factors such as exposure to certain medications or chemicals during pregnancy, or a chromosomal abnormality.

1. Surgery: Surgery is the most common treatment for syndactyly type 2. The goal of surgery is to separate the fused digits and create individual fingers or toes. The surgery is usually done under general anesthesia and can be done as early as the first few months of life.

2. Splinting: Splinting is another treatment option for syndactyly type 2. Splints are used to help separate the fused digits and can be used in combination with surgery.

3. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can be used to help improve range of motion and strength in the affected digits.

4. Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy can help with activities of daily living and help the patient adapt to any changes in their hands or feet.
