How to do newborn thumb and finger deformity

Newborn syndactyly is a common congenital deformity of the hand. In the face of this situation, parents should first take their child to a professional hand surgery or plastic surgery for detailed examination and evaluation.

Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the specific type, severity and overall health of the child. The treatment of syndactyly is mainly surgical separation, but the timing and method of surgery should be determined according to the specific conditions of the child. Generally speaking, if syndactyly does not affect the normal development and function of the child's hand, surgery can be performed at a slightly older age, such as preschool; However, if syndactyly seriously affects the child's hand function or development, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

In addition to surgical treatment, parents should also help their children with hand function rehabilitation training under the guidance of doctors to promote hand function recovery and development. At the same time, parents should also give adequate care and support to their children to help them build self-confidence and face life positively.
