Just cut off one more finger of your child? Don’t do it, or you’ll have a lot of trouble. Some parents think that it is very easy to deal with an extra finger in their child, just cut it off and sew it up, but in fact, we can’t deal with an extra finger in our child so easily. It involves a series of bone and joint structures such as skin, bone, tendon and joint capsule. If we simply remove it, the problem will be solved at that time, but the subsequent problems will be more and more troublesome. Why do you say so? Because not only is the simple removal unsightly, but the function of the finger is also affected. For parents and children who have aesthetic and functional requirements, they will have to face a second surgery. Second finger repair is very difficult and the child has to suffer again. Therefore, parents should not only have a proper understanding of the treatment of their child’s polydactyly, but also choose the hospital and doctor carefully so that their child can avoid suffering. Does my child need to be treated for polydactyly? If a child with polydactyly is not treated, the growth and development of the two fingers will be significantly slower than normal fingers. Why? Because it is not functional and the child will avoid using the multi-fingered hand because it is not in the correct position to pinch and grasp things. In addition, the nutrition of the polydactyly is relatively limited because it needs to supply both thumbs, and it is definitely limited in some way. So, when we remove the polydactyly, on the one hand, the child will have the opportunity to grasp and write with a correct posture, and after the child is willing to do things with this hand, it will promote the growth of this finger, and in addition, the finger can also get sufficient blood supply, so the polydactyly needs to be treated, and it is better to treat it as early as possible.
