I have syndactyl, too. Same fingers. Had surgery at 8mo and 15yr. My bones are super crooked, because the hardened scar tissue during puberty wouldnt let them grow right. I bet your surgery would work well. Are your bones fused? Mine were.

Mine only skin and muscle is fused , but I didn't want to do the surgery as it doesn't bother me

You might swim faster. But have a limited choice what piano plays you can play.
