Sixth Surgery Complete
God once again shows His mercy and Grace by bringing Ryan through another surgery on his hand. This time, Dr. Seitz removed the lengtheners and pins and preformed a syndactyly surgery. The syndactyly release’s purpose was to remove scar tissue between the pinky and ring finger that was just stretched over 20mm and and lower the skin connection. Even though one set of pins came out of the bone on the middle finger during the distraction augmentation, we found that God created some solid bone in the finger anyway! It is not as long as the other, but we did gain somewhere between 5-8mm. Below are some pictures for you to see the progress!
