Abstract
Congenital overriding of the fifth toe causes symptoms in approximately half of all patients. The results of three patients treated with a simpler procedure involving metatarsal phalangeal capsular release dorsally and medially, oblique lengthening of the extensor tendon, and Z-plasty of the skin is reported. At an average of 33 month follow-up, no recurrence is noted with this simple procedure.
