Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Syndactyly, a congenital condition involving fused digits, presents complex surgical challenges.
  • Optimal surgical timing and techniques are crucial for functional and aesthetic restoration.
  • Review of international literature over the past decade provides current insights.

Purpose:

  • To comprehensively review the surgical management of syndactyly.
  • To discuss key aspects including optimal age for surgery, graftless techniques, and digital extremity treatment.
  • To highlight strategies for preventing commissural retraction and achieving favorable long-term results.

Summary:

  • The review synthesizes current knowledge on syndactyly surgical treatment.
  • It covers operative indications, surgical methods (including graftless options), and post-operative care.
  • Emphasis is placed on preventing complications like commissural retraction and assessing long-term functional outcomes.

Impact:

  • Provides evidence-based guidance for surgeons managing syndactyly.
  • Aims to improve surgical planning and execution for better patient outcomes.
  • Contributes to the understanding of long-term results and functional recovery in syndactyly patients.
