Medically referred to as syndactyly (a name that also refers to webbed fingers), webbed toes are described as two or more toes fused together. While it is normal for animals such as ducks and frogs to have webbed toes, it is not as common among humans. During early fetal development, all our toes and fingers are webbed together.
When the toes have blue toe syndrome they are cyanotic. Some of these are caused by trauma as well as diseases of the tissue. This cause of blue toe syndrome is usually seen in individuals of a younger age that do not have any history of known diseases. Other blue toe syndromes may develop in persons with diabetes and also in persons who may have had some type of foot surgery.
