Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) also known ectrodactyly is a rare orthopaedic malformation which is characterised by the deficiency or absence of one or more central digits of the hand or foot. The associated anomalies are median cleft, syndactyly or aplasia/hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals and metatarsals of hands or feet. It can be isolated or accompany a syndrome.
