Surgical Treatment
“Most children treated for syndactyly have a wonderful outcome with normal finger motion and good maintenance of the reconstructed web space. Some, but not all, rotation deformities and motion issues can be improved with surgery and/or occupational therapy. Seeing a board certified hand surgeon is the first step in determining what can be done.”
Dr. Charles Goldfarb.
