Camptodactyly is a rare birth defect that generally does not cause pain or disable the patient. With patients with minor to moderate bend such as up to 30 degrees, it is best to leave it alone as long as it causes no pain and does not disable the patient. For children or adolescents with an increasing severity or a severe bend of the pinkie, splinting or physical therapy can be used. I have camptodactyly, yet I'm a piano player and a writer, so it hasn't impaired by ability to live life to its fullest whatsoever.

some symptoms of the Jacobs syndrome include swollen joints, joint stiffness, camptodactyly, arthritis, immaturity, and inflamed pericardium.

Cleft palate is a congenital disorder, as is clubfoot. Cleft palate is usually very successfully treated by surgery. Clubfoot can usually be successfully treated, but will require physical therapy, too.
