Finger and toe deformity parental problems small synthesis

  1, the child in the end how much surgery appropriate, why some say three months, some say 6 months, some say 1 year old, some also say 2 years old A: It depends on the degree of deformity of the child, and the surgical habits of each doctor, but also taking into account the degree of anxiety of parents, and anesthesia. The general simple deformity, such as floating thumb, is the kind of no bone attached, only a very thin skin attached, some parents even said that you can use a thin line tied off, like this on three months can certainly. If it’s more complicated and doesn’t require merging or finger transposition, 6 months is fine. The more complicated ones can be done at 1 year old. This is about the degree of deformity. Some parents are so anxious that they can’t wait until they are one year old, so sometimes the doctor has to agree to 6 months. In fact, every doctor wants the child to be 2 years old, which is better, when it is bigger and better developed, and the child is more tolerant. So when you consider it all together, you have the above confusion of parents, each doctor says different things. For deformities on the feet, generally eight or nine months is more appropriate, before learning to walk.  2.Which doctor do parents choose in the end?  A: Choosing a good doctor is very difficult, and sometimes choosing a doctor who is not a professional will produce different results. Especially there are some hospitals with great advertising, sometimes not a very suitable choice. Choosing a good doctor is a good platform. There are other ways, such as hand and foot surgery, plastic surgery, microsurgery, etc. in tertiary hospitals around the world, and it is better if there is a specialization in congenital malformations inside this team. This should be specially inquired about. Not that orthopedics is necessarily good. Of course, it is also necessary to choose a hospital that can play a very small child anesthesia, generally small, operating time is not long, children’s resuscitation experience is not the best choice, in case of anesthesia accident is not good.  3.Why is there a bulge in the fingertips after multiple finger removal?  A: There are two possibilities, one is more soft tissue, which can be slowly flattened later, but also plastic. There is also the bone is not clean, so you need to cut bone orthopedic again, generally if the operation with the power system swing saw, in the fluoroscopic C-arm under the osteotomy can be avoided, but these two machines are very expensive, not the average hospital can buy. Although there are many advertisements of hospitals saying what laser and what minimally invasive, in fact, are bullshit. Parents should not believe.  4, some people say that the fingertips are connected to the heart, can not be removed, and said six fingers smart, and said that you can use the laser to beat off, minimally invasive, etc. A: Do not believe.  5, the design of the incision, why there are many looks?  A: Fingertips and toes are generally dorsal side up, so the design of the incision to the palmar side or lateral side are better design, as a last resort can not be designed to the dorsal side of the incision.
