My nephew is born with webbed hands. At what age can he do his surgery?
Depends on which fingers are involved. The middle-ring web space and ring-small web space are the most commonly involved. Usually we wait until at least 1 year and sometimes up to 2 years before releasing the middle -ring web space, because there is no difference in length of the 2 fingers and there is less chance of the webbing recurring. For ring-small web space, watch for any flexion of the shorter small finger. If so, may need to release between 6 months and 1 year. If the thumb is involved, may need to release between 3-6 months.

I have been diagnosed with trigger finger syndrome. What is the course of treatment for this?
A steroid injection into the base of your thumb has a 60-70% chance of relieving the triggering. Sometimes a second injection can be given if the first one does not help. If the triggering persists despite 1 or 2 injections, then outpatient surgery is required. Under local anesthesia, the portion of the flexor tendon sheath that is impeding the gliding of the tendon is released. Surgery takes less than 30 minutes. Neil Jones, MD READ MORE
