Polydactyly is a common congenital hand, foot, or both anomalies characterized by the presence of extra fingers. Postaxial polydactyly is the most common congenital malformation consisting of the lateral or fibular aspect of the foot. Extra finger excision in the treatment of foot polydactyly is considered the basic procedure in surgery. However, in some cases more complex surgeries should be preferred. In this study, the "on-top plasty" method with a minimally invasive approach is presented in a case of complex foot postaxial polydactyly.

Postaxial polydactyly (PAP) in the form of rudimentary soft tissue masses is quite common. Management involves ligation or surgical excision. Rarely do literature discussions cover complex variants in which the extra finger is fully developed.

Polysyndactyly of the foot is a common congenital malformation of the lower extremity. We introduce our surgical technique for reconstruction of polysyndactyly of the fifth toe fused with the fourth toe. The technique includes the removal of the medial hypoplastic ray, web-space reconstruction using a dorsal cross-shaped advancement flap and closure of the lateral incisions of the separated toes with a tongue-shaped flap and zigzag triangular flaps.

Background: Acromesomelic chondrodysplasias are a rare subgroup of the clinically and genetically heterogeneous osteochondrodysplasias that are characterised by abnormalities in the limb development and short stature. Here, we report a 2-year-old boy, offspring of consanguineous parents, with acromesomelic dysplasia and postaxial polydactyly in which exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous missense variant in BMPR1B. The patient showed skeletal malformation of both hands and feet that included complex brachydactyly with the thumbs most severely affected, postaxial polydactyly of both hands, shortened toes as well as a bilateral hypoplasia of the fibula.
