Simple Syndactyly (Fingers Stuck Together)
Symptoms
- The fingers held together by skin alone
Surgery
- Screening for presence of syndromes such as Poland syndrome, Apert syndrome or Holt-Oram syndrome
- After one year of age separation of the fingers and reconstruction with local skin flaps or grafts under general anaesthetic
After Care
- Keep the dressings intact until seen in clinic
- Do not get them wet
- Over the counter Calpol and/or nurofen for pain relief
- No exercise for 48 hours as this will encourage bleeding
