Foot skin graft may be better for webbed finger surgery in kids
NCT ID NCT07647562
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 120 children aged 1 to 10 with webbed fingers (congenital syndactyly) who had surgery to separate them. After separation, a skin graft was needed to cover the gap. The study compared taking the graft from the foot (plantar area) versus the groin, to see which led to fewer problems like scarring, tightness, or slow healing. The goal was to find the best donor site for better hand function and appearance.
