Description
Daiki Ito and Ko Nakao describe a flap design for separating fused, extra toes in a young child while building a natural-looking web, in a 2025 case report. Their patient, a five-year-old girl, had joined fourth, fifth, and sixth toes on her left foot. Looks matter after such surgery, since the web's shape shapes how the foot is judged.
A trapezoid flap from the top of the foot joined a triangular flap from the sole, giving a web narrow in the middle and wider at the base. Both were shifted slightly for depth, and a skin graft covered the rest. Six months on, the web matched its neighbors and the toes stayed straight.
