Dr. Joyce Chen, Interplast Webster Fellow.
Among the 140 patients evaluated in clinic, siblings Brittany and Joshua came with their parents to be evaluated by our team. They shared the congenital deformity syndactyly, a condition where developing fingers do not separate normally and thus affected babies are born with conjoined fingers. Fortunately, both of them were selected as appropriate surgical candidates and were scheduled for surgery on the same day. After separation of their fingers, Brittany and Joshua will be able to use their hands more normally.
