description | Macrodactyly is a rare congenital disorder affecting the digits of hands and feet. It is often distressing for both parents and children. Surgical options range from soft tissue debulking with or without osteotomy and physeal arrest to simple or ray amputation. Although amputation is generally reserved for the severe progressive variant of macrodactyly and revision surgery, there is controversy regarding whether initial amputation or debulking is the best approach. We present a case of isolated macrodactyly of a minor toe, where debulking showed superior results. |
