00:59.870 --> 01:03.530
- For the surgery, we excised
the sixth extra thumb,

01:03.530 --> 01:06.250
and then we went to the distal part,

01:06.250 --> 01:07.650
where he had that extra nail,

01:07.650 --> 01:10.070
as well as the extra distal phalanx,

01:10.070 --> 01:13.130
and excised that, and
reconstructed his flexor,

01:13.130 --> 01:14.840
and extensor tendons,

01:14.840 --> 01:17.879
as well as that collateral
ligament to improve the function

01:17.879 --> 01:20.010
of that distal thumb,

01:20.010 --> 01:23.290
and then obviously the
excision of the extra finger,

01:23.290 --> 01:26.930
would prevent that from
being a hindrance to his

01:26.930 --> 01:30.620
everyday activity, as well as
cosmetic nature of that thumb,

01:30.620 --> 01:32.973
which had no function whatsoever.
