Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Polydactyly is a fairly common congenital condition of the foot and is characterized literally by supernumerary toes (digit or metatarsal). The frequency of polydactyly varies widely among populations. It may be an isolated condition or part of a congenital syndrome. Eight-toed polydactyly is a distinctly rare congenital foot anomaly. In this report, an 18-month-old child with pre-axial 8-toed right foot had been treated with excision of the excess rays with muscular, tendentious, and ligamentous reconstructions. The patient had presented a good postoperative result. Through monthly follow-up visits for 1 year, the parents expressed excellent cosmesis, shoe fit, and walking function. |
