Machine-translated from the Dutch article

The Steinberg sign, also known as the thumb sign, is considered positive when the distal phalanx of the thumb, with or without support, extends beyond the palm when the hand is closed into a fist. A positive sign demonstrates a combination of both arachnodactyly and hypermobility. A positive thumb sign is associated with Marfan syndrome.
