Correction of Overlapping Fifth Toe Deformity with Combination of Z-Plasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overlapping fifth toe is a congenital deformity and is characterized by an external rotation of the toe so that it overrides the adjacent fourth toe [1]. A number of factors may play a part in the pathophysiology of this condition including proximal phalanx axial rotation, medial deviation of the toe, skin contracture, and a hyperextension deformity of the Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint as a result of extensor tendon contracture [2]. In addition to concerns regarding the appearance of the deformity, patients may experience pain during walking caused by compression of the fifth toe between the fourth toe and the shoe.
