The etiology of polydactyly is more complicated, and polydactyly of thumb is more common. Please don't worry too much.
Considering the risk of anesthesia, the suitable age of thumb function establishment is generally between three months and eighteen months. In the absence of other diseases, it is better to operate as soon as possible, which will help to establish thumb function as soon as possible.
Whether the operation is to be removed or combined depends on the type of compound thumb, the function of multi-fingers, the shape of nails, the size of fingers and the quality of phalanges, which need to be discussed by doctors and parents of children, and cannot be generalized. But the principle is to consider the function first, and then give consideration to the beauty. Our long-term follow-up found that the effect of the two operations is ideal when the child grows up, so it is most important to choose a reasonable one.
