    You don't have any examples of brachydactyly, so I'm wondering why you mention it at all.

      There was apparently a 19th century lady named Rosalie Fournier who was like that. She was also said to have another, more bizarre oddity (NSFW) https://www.deviantart.com/skin2279/art/Rosalie-Fournier-C21-Stereo-813048058
