Hand surgery! Here's a pic of them snapping out this tendon-like tissue from the middle of the palm. If you press on your wrist with your thumb in the right spot, your middle finger will move. This tendon is what they are removing in the picture.
No, the thumb isn't the reason for surgery. That's just a birth defect. They split the tendon into four symmetrical pieces and weave it back up through the four fingers so that the finger regains the ability to grasp. Prior to surgery, he was unable to bend is fingers properly.
Who's thinking of spaghetti with marinara? I found this so gross/fascinating while watching but seeing it in the photos isn't so bad as being there.
