ABSTRACT
Surgical methods for lateral ray polydactyly with brachydactyly of the foot include simple toe ablation and toe lengthening. However, there are few reports on comparative studies, and there is no standard treatment. We retrospectively investigated cases of lateral ray polydactyly with brachydactyly treated at our department and related facilities. In our study, the prevalence of Hirai-Togashi classification type IV was 8.8% (13/147 toes). Five patients did not request toe lengthening and underwent simple ablation, resulting in a shortened remaining toe in these 5 patients. The surgical methods for toe lengthening were pedicle bone grafting in 2 cases and on-top formation in 6 cases. Good results can be obtained in the most common phalangeal type cases, but care must be taken in cases with block-shaped metatarsal heads to avoid poor toe alignment.
