Abstract

There are many different type of congenital toe anomalies such as syndactyly, polydactyly which are more common, and less frequently macrodactyly and curly toe. Congenital anomaly of hand can decrease the hand function and easy to be visualized, so the early treatment of anomaly is natural and recommended. On the other hand, Congenital anomaly of foot rarely decrease the foot function and was hidden in the shoe, so treatment of anomaly was delayed frequently. However, the surgery can be needed, as the foot getting grown-up, discomfort of shoe fitting or intractable plantar keratosis due to secondary deformation of foot can occur. A distinct feature and surgical consideration was compared with congenital anomaly of hand and it should be taken into account in the treatment of adult toe anomalies.
