How can I make my baby's fingers straight?

Patient's question:

[Condition Description: Female baby, 3 years old, except for the thumb, she cannot straighten her other fingers. The flexibility of her fingers is normal, and it does not affect her activities. Adults can help straighten her fingers, but she cannot do it herself. She didn't pay much attention when she was young, but now her parents feel it affects her appearance. What is this problem? Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What help is desired: What should be done so that her fingers can straighten autonomously like most other children?]

Doctor's answer:

It's not easy to determine the condition based solely on the symptoms. It is recommended to visit the hospital as soon as possible for examination. Early diagnosis and treatment targeting the underlying cause are important. Specific diagnosis and treatment should be carried out at the hospital under the guidance of a doctor. You can help extend your baby's fingers to see if they can straighten and observe your baby's reaction after straightening. If they can straighten, there is no need to worry. If the fingers cannot move voluntarily, it is important to rule out any neurological damage, such as cerebral palsy. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a comprehensive evaluation to provide a diagnosis. If the condition is only related to the fingers or skin itself, there is no need to be too concerned.
