Abstract

Non-syndromic toe syndactyly is a regular cause of foot malformation in children, bilateral form being less common. Syndactyly release procedures had few contraindications, as uncomplicated malformation or important patient comorbidities. Reported data show that corrective surgery using skin grafts is associated with an increased risk of infection, contractures, and web creep. Reconstruction surgical techniques, using flaps reduce morbidity, revision surgery, complication, may be associated with skin grafts and have superior aesthetic and functional results. We present a case of simple bilateral incomplete asymmetric toe syndactyly, released using a modified personalized local flaps reconstruction technique. The normal function and aesthetic of the feet was obtained, with no complications at one-year follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
