? Correct diagnosis: Unusual to have isolated index finger clinodactyly. Is this the correct diagnosis? See a hand surgeon for appropriate assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

Clinodactyly: Has different methods of treatment and you should easily find another hand surgeon who can advise you and help you with your recovery from your first operation. Google 'hand surgeons' in your community and you should find suitable alternatives.

more detailed eval: Many reasons for clinodactyly, unusual for surgery to be necessary in an adult. Would consult with a specialist in hand surgery to confirm diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Ensure that this is not just related to the surgical procedure.
