Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent leg pain, for which reason I am asking if it is possible for the child to undergo surgery at 8 months of age.Doctor's answer:
Usually, the extra finger, which looks like excess flesh with only a little skin attached to the hand, can be removed at birth. If the bones and tendons are complete, surgical treatment should be considered after the child is six months old. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and choose the appropriate time for surgery based on the condition. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's life. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is important to protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
