Fused toes - what does this mean
Fused toes, also known as syndactyly, is a congenital condition that occurs when two or more digits of the foot are partially or completely fused together. it is caused by an abnormal development of the tissue between the toes in the womb, resulting in the toes being connected by skin or bone.
What happens during the disease - fused toes
Fused toes is a congenital condition in which two or more toes are fused together due to the abnormal development of the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the foot. this can be caused by a number of factors, including genetic mutations, abnormalities in the development of the foot, and exposure to certain environmental factors. in some cases, the fusion can be so severe that it affects the function of the foot, leading to pain, difficulty walking, and other mobility issues. treatment typically involves surgically separating the fused toes to restore normal function.
