Foot Macrodactyly with Simple Syndactyly: A Case Report from Northern Tanzania

Abstract

We report a case report of a 5years old girl who presented with progressive enlarged and fusion of the second and third toes of the right foot since birth which impairs shoe wear. After a clinical history and examination and radiological evaluation, the diagnosis of right foot macrodactyly was established. Following surgical excision of the macrodactyly patient showed good clinical outcome after 1year of follow-up. Numerous treatment options have been suggested without consensus, specific treatment is individualized. The primary goal for treatment is a pain-free and functional foot that can accommodate normal shoes.
