Treatment of Finger and Toe Defects
Surgery Prosthetics Surgery can be done to separate syndactyly of the fingers or toes and improve function. Surgery may be done to remove an extra finger or toe. Some children who are missing a finger or toe need a prosthesis, which is an artificial device that replaces the missing body part (see Overview of Limb Prosthetics ).
