A person with polydactyly is born with additional fingers or toes on either one or both hands or feet. Polydactyly can manifest in a variety of ways. For example, it may resemble a little, elevated lump of soft tissue without any bones, a finger or toe partially formed with some bones but none of the joints or a finger or toe fully developed with all of the tissues, bones, and joints.
