Research Notes on Polydactyly
Polydactyly is a congenital physical anomaly consisting of supernumerary fingers or toes. The extra digit is usually a small piece of soft tissue; occasionally it may contain bone without joints; rarely it may be a complete, functioning digit. The extra digit is most common on the ulnar (little finger) side of the hand, less common on the radial (thumb) side, and very rarely within the middle three digits. ...read more from Wikipedia
