Tests
At Children’s Hospital Boston, we understand that the first step to treating your child is obtaining an accurate, timely and thorough diagnosis.
Polydactyly can sometimes be seen by ultrasound prenatally, and is apparent at birth. Your doctor will use x-raysto assess the underlying structure of your baby’s finger and determine a course of treatment.
