hey everybody this is your daily dose of
medicine and in this episode we are
going to give an
answer to this question what is
clinotactv
let's get started first of all
it's a medical term describing the
curvature of a digit
it could be finger or toe in the plane
of the palm
and most commonly the fifth the fifth
finger towards the adjacent fourth
finger
and in most cases the condition does not
cause any pain
swelling or inflammation
and the bend finger usually functions
fine and doesn't hurt
but it's appearance can make some
children self-conscious
and it's uncommon affecting about 3
percent of babies born in the general
population
and it's more common in boys than in
girls
we said that it's uncommon but in
certain disorders this probability
is increase this is a typical
facial features of down syndrome and in
down syndrome
probability is increased other than down
syndrome
clean falter syndrome turner syndrome
and functional anemia
can increase this probability we can see
clinoductory more common than normal
population
and because clinoductly usually causes
no symptoms and doesn't severely
restrict the use of the affected finger
your child's doctor may not recommend
any treatment
in mild cases your child's doctor may
choose to monitor the growth
of the fingers and hands to vote for
signs that the condition
inversing or reflection function
and when the curve is more than 30
degrees
for example in this picture this is
severe case of chlorotactically
hand function may be compromised and
surgical treatment may be necessary
and surgery usually has the best results
when your child is young and the bones
are still growing
