A birth condition where a person is born without fingers or toes, or with only partially developed digits.
From Greek 'ektroma' (abortion, defect) + 'daktylos' (finger/toe); coined in medical terminology to describe congenital absence of digits, emphasizing the developmental defect.
People with ectrodactylia have challenged our assumptions about disability—many athletes and performers with this condition are incredibly skilled, showing that the body adapts in amazing ways!
