<s>[INST] my newborn daughter was born with hypoplasia of the 2nd and 3rd toe. Both of those toes are much shorter than her other toes. One of the toes looks like a little nub and the other does not have a normal nailbed. That nail is growing sort of like a cat s claw, just straight, she has no nailbed. What could be the cause? Also what type of surgery could be done? I was thinking plastic surgery or maybe inserting a piece of silicone or something to lengthen the toes...
