چکیده
From Biblical days, the occurrence of six toes instead of five, called polydactyly, has been known. Of late, there have been some individual case reports from USA and Italy. Moreover, a group formed from several countries has dealt competently with genetic studies of 19 preaxial polydactyly families. Therefore, we report a case from Nigeria.

INTRODUCTION Congenital hallux varus of secondary type is associated with polydactyly, syndactyly or other congenital deformities of the foot. Such congenital deformities can be addressed in childhood with soft tissue reconstructive procedures. In adulthood, treatment of these deformities is challenging because of soft tissue contractures and rigid bony deformities. To our knowledge, this is th...
