1.What information do patients with polydactyly need to provide when consulting online? Do I need to take photos? What are the main points of describing the condition? Patients with polydactyly need to provide photos of the deformity of the affected limb (preferably with photos of the front, back, side, grip and other positions and postures to evaluate the deformity and limb function in three dimensions), front and side X-rays of the affected limb and the opposite side (to compare the diagnosis and design the surgical plan), medical history to provide whether the polydactyly was discovered at birth, the changes in the growth and development of the polydactyly, and whether other parts of the body are combined with the deformity (to consider whether it is a syndrome). The medical history should provide whether the polydactyly was discovered at birth, the changes in the growth and development of the polydactyly, and whether other parts of the body are combined with abnormalities or deformities (consider whether it is a syndrome) and whether there is a family history. 2.What tests are usually done when you go to the hospital? Can they be done on the same day and how long does it take to get the test results? General pre-surgical anesthesia tests are performed to assess the risk of surgery and anesthesia. Mainly include: routine blood, liver and kidney function, coagulation, eight items before surgery (national regulations to exclude the presence of other blood system diseases), chest X-ray (whether there are cardiopulmonary abnormalities and cardiopulmonary diseases), electrocardiogram (to assess whether there are cardiac abnormalities), cardiac ultrasound, hepatobiliary and pancreatic ultrasound to assess whether there are internal abnormalities, as well as the frontal and lateral X-rays of the deformity site and the opposite side to assess the deformity to develop a surgical plan. 3.How long do patients with polydactyly need to be hospitalized? How long can I be discharged from the hospital after surgery? Depending on the type and surgical plan, the recovery time is different and the hospitalization time is different. 4.What is the general surgery cost? According to different types of finger deformities, different surgery plans, and different regions where the hospital is located, the cost of surgery varies, generally 4-6,000 for simple polydactyly, and 8,000-20,000 for complex polydactyly with osteotomy, arthroplasty, tendon transposition, fascial flap transfer, etc. 5.Can I have my post-operative review at the local hospital? Post-operative review and follow-up is an important step in treatment. Some families often think that everything is fine after surgery, but in fact, children’s fingers (toes) have certain developmental and shaping abilities, and as time goes by, some children may have better and better post-operative corrective effects, which can help doctors summarize their experience and help more children. The need for timely surgery or brace intervention may eliminate the possibility of complicated surgery if handled promptly. Post-operative review requirements vary depending on the degree of deformity and the type of surgery. Generally, simple polydactyly is reviewed at the local hospital two weeks after surgery and returned to the hospital one month, six months and one year after surgery; complex polydactyly is reviewed three to six weeks, three months, six months and one year after surgery. It is best to get a review from the surgeon, and for those who travel far away, the review can be done by, QQ and WeChat. Treatment can be done at the local hospital. In special cases, it is recommended to get an in-person review from the surgeon, which is more comprehensive and reliable!
