Parents don’t have to worry about six-finger deformity; surgery can effectively improve form and function

In the past two days, I saw a comment that touched me deeply. A netizen said that his junior high school classmate had six fingers, and now that he is in his late teens, everyone still calls him Sixth Brother, and that classmate has a big heart and goodwill, and he agrees with anyone who shouts at him. The people who shouted may not be malicious, and the student may not really care, but I still want to say a few words, because most of the children with hand and foot deformities who come to my clinic are mindful of the fact that they are very sensitive, and they will ask their parents why they are not the same as the other children, and their mothers and fathers are worried that their children will be viewed differently by other people, and will be ridiculed by other people. What should we do? In fact, for common hand and foot deformities such as polydactyly and syndactyly, the results of surgery are still very satisfactory. For some less common hand and foot deformities, such as mirror shadow hand and floating bunion, the appearance and functional recovery after surgery are generally more satisfactory. Therefore, for parents, do not be too anxious, especially some mothers who are still sitting in the womb, we can consider surgery to improve the deformity when the appropriate time for surgery arrives.
