Abstract: | Polydactyly is a fairly common congenital anomaly characterized by additional fingers and/or toes, generally divided into three groups: medial ray (preaxial) and central and lateral ray (postaxial). We present a case of postaxial (fibular) polydactyly of the feet, assaying its clinical and radiological features and the method of surgical correction. Clinical outcomes after initial surgery were excellent in both feet. This surgical case shows that a careful individual preoperative planning is necessary to achieve good functional and cosmetic outcome. Level of Evidence: Level V, therapeutic study. |
