Lower Extremity Rare Preaxial Polydactyly. A Case Report and Literature Review

The condition known as pediatric foot polydactyly can manifest itself in a broad range of malformations, from a single extra digit that is only connected to the rest of the foot by a thin band of connective tissue to intricate central foot duplications that involve the duplication of tarsal bones. The presentation of preaxial polydactyly of the foot is crucial to understand, even though it is quite uncommon. This is because in over half of the cases, several congenital malformations, such as syndactyly and atrial septum defects, have been described. The result of surgical reconstruction should be a foot that is stable, mobile, and pain-free, with five aesthetically pleasing toes. This should allow the patient to wear standard footwear and walk without experiencing any discomfort.
