8 fingers "change" 10 fingers, this is not some magic, but to separate the child's fingers that are born together, for this operation, the child's mother waited for two years.
One bad news, one good news
It turned out that the baby had not yet been born, and the parents received bad news. They found that the baby's hands seemed to be different during the prenatal checkup, and when they looked closely, they were shocked, the middle finger and ring finger of the baby's two hands were glued together, and it looked like there were only 8 fingers.
Fortunately, the child's mother inquired around and found out that there was a relative's child who was in a similar situation, so she immediately found me, because I did a good job of dividing fingers for her relative's child at that time, so my mother also learned a lot about the baby's syndactyly.
Why do babies get syndactyly?
This is the mother's most concerned problem, many parents will have such a mentality, feel that their own problems lead to the child's syndacty, so they are very guilty, in fact, this is not the case, the cause of syndactyly has not yet been clarified, there are many factors will affect the development of the baby's fingers.
Some of this is related to genetics, and if this kind of syndactyly exists in the family, then the probability of syndactyly increases.
A situation like this baby's is likely to be genetically influenced, and a genetic test can be done to find out.
In addition, if you are stimulated by certain medications, secondhand smoke, etc., during pregnancy, it may also be affected. At the same time, diabetes during pregnancy also increases the risk of syndactyly in the fetus.
Can it be done in one sitting with both hands in syndactyly?
Because the baby's two hands are syndactyly, so the mother is very worried about the child to do two operations, she is very distressed about the baby, I don't want him to toss many times, I smiled and comforted her, the child's situation can be completed at one time, don't worry.
Every child's situation is different, so whether or not an operation can be performed depends on the specific situation.
Usually we will strive to do it all at once, but not all syndactyly can be done at one time, and we need to consider factors such as the condition of blood circulation.
8 refers to "change" and 10 fingers
The baby quickly completed the operation, and after the parents communicated with me, the final method was adopted for artificial dermal induction without skin grafting and syndactyly.
When the child came to the postoperative review for a few months, I found that the parents' postoperative functional exercise was very good, and now the child can flexibly use ten fingers to grasp the toy, the appearance and function are ideal, the child's mother always said thank me, in fact, I think the most should be thanked to the parents themselves, they have done everything very carefully, and the child's finger function has been exercised, which is the most worthwhile.
