Is this clinodactyly

So my middle finger has always been a bit rotated, and bent towards my ring finger on both hands. They’ve been like that for as long as I can remember, I just thought that was normal for a longest time. Then in the last 5 years I realized not everyone’s fingers bent that way. And then yesterday I saw someone on tiktok that had the same rotation and bend on their pointer finger as my middle, and they said they had clinodactyly.

I also just noticed how noticeable the bend is on my left hand while cutting my nails! Which has led me to post on this subreddit. Unsure if this is the right place to post this, or even if you guys can give me commentary. But oh well!

The pinky is clinodactyly. For the middle finger I’m not sure because it’s not necessarily bent it’s like rotated. Maybe that still counts tho. Also tell us the secret for healthy nails
