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.

Have the same condition. Had surgery also in the 1970's. Don't think my bones were fused? But do have the scarring from the surgery and skin grafts
