baby has been born with two extra toes on each foot and one extra finger on each hand. Born May 13, Vincent Monarque has five fingers and a thumb on his left hand, with the thumb and first finger joined by a web of flesh. There are six fingers, but no thumb, on his right hand. Both feet have seven toes, although two toes on the left foot are fully joined. X-rays show the extra digits have bones. Doctors said the child is a textbook example of polydactyly -- extra digits -- as well as syndactyly -- joined appendages. The two don’t always happen together, but when they do, it’s called polysyndactyly.
