ABSTRACT
In lateral ray polydactyly, the reconstructed toe often tends to become thicker, but no standard evaluation criteria for this thickness are available. 57 patients (68 toes) with Hirai-Togashi classification type II, III, or IV whom we were able to follow-up for more than 6 months after the operation were underwent measurement of the "Reconstructed toe width to Third toe width ratio." In addition, 16 patients who could be followed up for 3 years through the mid-term course were evaluated for mid-term progress. At 6 months after surgery, the mean R/T ratio was 1.246. In patients who could be followed up for 3 years after surgery, the mean R/T ratios at 6 months after surgery and at 3 years were significantly decreased. This result suggests that the thickness of the reconstructed toe may become relatively thin in the long term.
