A rare polydactyly of the forefoot with partial duplication of the 5th metatarsal and supernumerary digit: A case report.

INTRODUCTION

Polydactyly of the foot is a congenital anomaly characterized by the appearance of all or part of one or more additional rays. Adult cases are more rare, and surgical management of the deformity is still debated.

PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 49-year-old black patient with this condition might complain of an abnormal cosmetic appearance or difficulty with footwear.

DISCUSSION: Only a few cases of postaxial polydactyly with a partial duplication of the fifth metatarsal without a supernumerary digit have been reported.

CONCLUSION

The surgical indication is always retained in front of the aesthetic discomfort of the patient associated with footwear. The surgical technique must be individualized according to the deformity encountered, either by open or percutaneous approach; we find it interesting to share this unusual case in order to classify it later as a foot deformity.
