Yesterday, the nurse knocked on the door and asked, “Doctor, there’s a patient from Henan, six months old, with six toes on his left foot, and he’s registered with the orthopedic department, but the orthopedic department says it’s not in their scope. I said, “Yes, they should have come to our department. You can tell them to go ahead and register.” The little girl was brought in by her mom and dad and was a particularly smiley little girl. While I was examining her, the little girl’s mother said they had discovered an extra toe on the child’s left foot right after birth, and the local doctor said they could not operate until the child was six months old. Now that the child was six months old, they brought the child to Wuhan for safety reasons. For such a little girl, the extra toe definitely needs to be removed, and it’s best to have the surgery done before the little girl learns to stand or walk. Because the width of the two feet is obviously different, and if the surgery is not done as soon as possible, this abnormality in appearance will become more obvious, and it will also have some impact on the function of the feet. Why do we recommend surgery before the child learns to stand or walk? Because the child cannot bear weight for six weeks after the surgery, which simply means that the child cannot stand and can only lie down or be held so that the ligaments and ligaments do not fall apart, so try to operate before the child can walk. This little girl’s case made me feel a little emotional, why? Because many parents of children are like the parents of this little girl, thinking that they should register for orthopedics for hand and foot deformities, but in fact they should go to hand surgery.
