A Seven Toes Foot: Case Series as an Isolated Dysplasia With Variety of Appearance
Nickolaos Laliotis et al
Cureus. 2022 Dec 26;14(12):e32949

A seven toes foot is an extremely rare foot disorder. It may appear as part of a complex limb dysplasia or as an isolated deformity. We present five children with a seven toes foot. Supernumerary bones of the foot were found either as isolated duplicated great and little toe either affecting proximal bones, including the metatarsals or midtarsal bones, characterized as mirror foot. Radiological examination with X-rays was adequate for the evaluation of the affected foot. All patients had dysplasia isolated to the foot. Spine dysplasia was found in one child, and a hypoplastic unilateral little finger in another. The affected foot had a plantigrade shape without leg length discrepancy (LLD). The aesthetic of the enlarged foot with the problems of shoe wear was the main concern of the dysplasia. Surgical treatment was provided after the walking age. Surgery was demanded to provide a cosmetically acceptable foot. Removal of the supernumerary rays, either the medial or the central rays, was performed after the radiological evaluation. Our results were satisfactory, and none of our patients required additional interventions, although a mild varus position of the great toe was still observed in one patient.
