We reviewed 89 webs of 40 patient with syndactyly which had been treated at Seoul National University Hospital from 1979 to November 1984. It is the purpose of this article to compare the operative methods used in the treatment of syndactyly. In our hands, using the volar interdigital flap in the treatment of syndactyly gives the most excellent postoperative result in both function and cosmesis.
