Camptodactyly and knuckle pads coexisting in an adolescent boy: connection or coincidence?

Camptodactyly is a condition characterized by a nontraumatic, fixed flexion contracture at the proximal interphalangeal joint, typically involving the fifth finger. Most occurrences are sporadic, but autosomal dominant transmission and syndromic associations have been described in the literature. We describe the case of an adolescent boy who presented to our clinic with a 2-year history of bilateral, nonsyndromic camptodactyly and knuckle pads.
