Girl's six-fingered hand

Doctors have operated on a Chinese girl who was born with six virtually identical fingers on her right hand and no thumb.

Four-year-old Xiao Qian, of Wuhan, eastern China's Hubei province, also has five fingers on her left hand, reports Chutian Golden News.

Her parents took her to see doctors in Pu'ai Hospital who said they had never seen a hand like the little girl's before.

Although, six-fingered hands were not very rare, it was highly unusual for somebody to have six nearly identical fingers, they said.

Doctor Xin Danmo operated on Qian, removing her left-most finger and trying to thicken the second finger in a bid to turn it into a thumb.

He believes that the girl's abnormity was caused by radiation or chemical exposure to the mother during pregnancy.

Glad she got it taken care of before she got older.

Imagine going to a metal show and watching this poor gal trying to throw a 'devil's horn' back at the band, confusing, at best?
:eek::confused::o

(It's called polydactylia)

I wonder how she would have done playing the piano?

It is a shame because without a thumb the use of that hand will be very limited. You can do with 3 fingers as long a you have a thumb and one of you other fingers. I hope with therapy they can train one of her fingers to act as a thumb.

It's as though two halves were sewn together.

It does. Two pinkies on the outsides, then going in, two ring fingers and two middle fingers. That's bizarre. They also stated she has 5 fingers on her other hand. Does that mean she also doesn't have a thumb on that hand?
