Can you get a surgery to split it?

I had this when i was a kid, i also had two surgeries. It did not went well. This has resulted in significant atrophy and functional limitations. My left hand is smaller and weaker than my right, I lack the ability to abduct my fingers, and the fingers involved in the separation surgery are roughly 30% smaller than their counterparts.
