A man revealed he was born without middle fingers, having only four digits on each hand. The anonymous bloke shared his unique condition on , sparking a flurry of conversation about body parts. Many users were curious about the cause, prompting him to explain why he only has eight fingers in total - and the reason why might just surprise you.
He posted: "Hello everyone, as you can see by the pic - I'm missing the middle finger on both hands. The condition is called oligodactyly. I had an operation as a one-year old to remove the bones from the middle finger on my left hand, as they were undeveloped and were 'stuck' on the back side of the palm (just beneath where the middle finger should begin).
"On my right hand - the middle finger and the ring finger are fused as one finger." Since sharing his story, many people have been intrigued, having never seen anything like it before. However, he was quick to respond to queries, joking he simply has to "honk and shout" when he's seriously displeased while driving.
Some users were familiar with the condition and shared their own experiences. One person commented: "My cousin has the exact same condition, and also had surgeries as a toddler to help her dexterity. Other than that she's living a pretty chill life and I'm proud of her.
"When I was younger I used to notice her hands but, nowadays when I'm around her, it doesn't even get my attention or notice. I wish you all the best." The candid snap has got lots of people talking, and man.
