Eight-toed central polydactyly is a rare congenital foot deformity and no other case with a bifid talus has been reported in the literature. We present a 6-year follow-up of a male child who had eight-toed central polydactyly with a duplicate cuneiform bone and bifid talus in his right foot. During preoperative planning, CT scans were conducted to evaluate the duplicate tarsals and to assist in reaching surgical decisions. In 2013, when the child was 1 year and 8 months old, the fourth, fifth and sixth phalanges and metatarsals as well as the duplicate cuneiform bone were excised. A portion of the malformed talus was also resected. This case report discusses functional and aesthetic outcomes after 6 years and provides an analysis on relevant reconstructive follow-up practices.

Background: We describe the topographic anatomy of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle using 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging.
Methods: Dissection of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) was performed on 8 unpaired fresh-frozen cadaver feet. Ligaments were sharply dissected from bone, and the footprint was outlined with radio-opaque paint.
