Central Mirror Foot: Treatment and Review of the Literature

Mirror foot is a rare abnormality which presents as a preaxial, postaxial, or central polydactyly of the foot. The latter is encountered infrequently. We describe the case of a central mirror foot. Our patient had eight digits of a central ray pattern type with fully developed metatarsal, proximal, middle, and distal phalanges, as well as a medial toe syndactyly. He had no tarsal bone duplications. He was treated by central ray resection via double V-shaped incisions on the dorsal and plantar aspects of the foot, while preserving the medial and lateral rays. The results were satisfactory. We describe the technique and attempt a review of the literature.
