Study Summary

Syndactyly is the most common hand abnormality in children. During development, two or more fingers do not separate in the usual way and remain connected by skin. Surgery is needed to separate the fingers. Usually, it is performed between 6 months and 3 years of age, depending on the severity of the syndactyly. During the surgery, the fingers are separated; however, there isn't enough skin to completely cover the fingers once they are separated. There are two areas on the fingers that need to be covered after separation, and there is a standard method, and now a new technique to cover these areas. The standard current technique that surgeons use to cover the newly separated fingers is to apply a small section of the patient's own skin taken from a different area of their body (this is known as a skin graft). A new technique called Hyaluronic acid matrix (Hyalomatrix®) is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, commercially available, skin graft substitute that is currently being used both in the US and in Europe. The Hyalomatrix (or skin graft substitute) is sutured into place using a stitch on each corner, over the areas left without skin covering during the surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare effectiveness, wound healing, scar formation and potential associated complications of the current skin graft technique with the new technique called Hyalomatrix (or skin graft substitute) following surgery.
