comment

Hand clenching is commonly characterized by malpositioning of the fingers characterized by radial deviation of the 4th and 5th digits and ulnar deviation of the 2nd digit over the 3rd finger. Hand clenching is distinguished from Camptodactyly, as that term may describe fewer than five digits of a eudactylous hand and does not involve the MCPJ. The digits may overlap when they lie flexed in the palm. It is not necessary to specify the overlapping fingers finding separately.
