Patient: I burned my hand at the beginning of May 2008, but the wound has healed, but there are scars on the palm of my hand, and the middle finger and index finger are a little bit sticky, and the skin is too tight at the connection between the two fingers and the palm of my hand, so I can’t straighten it in its natural state. If so, what kind of surgery is needed? Do I need to be hospitalized? How long will the hospital stay take? What is the approximate cost? Doctor: The situation is not serious and the child’s daily activities will not be affected too much. Surgery is not the best option in this case. For now, you can give your child functional exercises, encourage him to use the affected hand more often, and perform daily stretching exercises against the scar. Most of them do not show hand dysfunction. Regular review to observe the effect of the scar on hand function with severe impairment is elective surgery, which may be maintained until adolescence depending on the child’s condition, when it would be more beneficial. Patient: The child is very young and a girl, I would like to know if this scar will become more pronounced as she gets older? I am worried about the psychological impact this will have on my child. If I don’t have surgery, can I straighten my finger in its natural state with exercise? Will it affect the aesthetics? What is the nature of the surgery that will be performed if there is a serious disorder? Is it a skin graft? Doctor: The scar will not become more obvious with age, but sometimes the scar pulling will be aggravated, which is an important reason for possible future surgery. Parents should not show excessive concern for the child’s injury, otherwise it will have a suggestion on the child’s heart. Persistent exercise is certainly good for hand function, and when the child grows up there are problems before surgery. The surgery is mainly a scar release and possibly a skin graft.
