How Polydactyly Excision and Thumb/Digit Reconstruction is performed
Surgery includes removal of the extra finger and reconstruction of the remaining finger. It often involves assessing blood vessels and nerves under microscopic magnification, removing excess tissue, and retaining the more functional side; osteotomy, joint stabilization, and tendon/ligament reconstruction are performed as needed, and temporarily fixed with steel pins or sutures, covered with flaps or skin grafts. Postoperative monitoring of blood circulation and alignment, splint protection, and gradual recovery of grasping.
