The age for surgery to correct polydactyly in children depends on the type and severity of the deformity, overall health, anesthetic safety, and parental needs. Early surgery can accelerate finger development and reduce residual deformities. For polydactyly that significantly affects finger flexion and extension, or when the distal phalanges are fused together, surgery to separate them should be performed between 3 to 4 years old. For simple, incomplete polydactyly involving two or three fingers, surgery can be done within six months due to its simplicity and the fact that it does not require long-term fixation post-surgery.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a challenging condition in orthopedics, primarily caused by long-term use of high doses of corticosteroids and excessive alcohol consumption. These factors lead to blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the femoral head, ultimately resulting in ischemic necrosis. Additionally, it is important to rest adequately, maintain good sleep quality, and avoid hip joint pain and deformities of the femoral head to prevent impairment of hip joint function. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately to determine the cause and maintain a positive attitude. Regularly consume vegetables and fruits to promote hydration.
