Due to the large number of requests from the community, Al Huda Hospital added another free social operation for the poor for sufferers of congenital talipes equinovarus/clubfoot (CTEV) and Polydactyly.
Head of Medical Services at Al Huda Hospital, dr. Indians, MMRS, who served as social action coordinator explained, Social action at Al Huda Hospital is routinely carried out as a form of the spirit of giving and sharing. This spirit of social action underlies the management policy in expanding the diagnosis of cases that will receive free surgical assistance.
This time the target was CTEV sufferers, which in Indonesia is generally known as clubfoot. "Whereas, Polydactyly is a patient who has a number of toes or hands that exceeds the normal number,” he explained yesterday. Indiati added, CTEV is a congenital disorder (congenital) legs. It's easy to diagnose, but it is difficult to correct it perfectly. The degree of severity of the deformity (bone deformities) can light, moderate or heavy. It depends on the flexibility or the existence of resistance or immunity to the corrections made.
CTEV is rigid or rigid, cause permanent deformity if not corrected immediately," he explained. While polydactyly, continued the doctor who is familiarly called Indi, a genetically inherited disorder. “Sufferers get additional fingers on one or two hands and or on their feet,he said. Polydactyly is also known as hyperdactyly. “The place of the extra finger is different, one near the thumb, and some are near the little finger,”He explained.
Polydactyly is caused by a gene abnormality during the formation of fetal organs. "This happens during young pregnant women or the first six months of the formation of body organs," he explained. It is possible that this happened because the baby's mother consumed a lot of food containing preservatives. There may also be other elements in it that cause growth disorders. “Excess number of fingers does not cause problems other than body deformity,” he added. Indi continued, Caring is the main capital in this activity.
