Abstract
Polydactyly of the foot is a common congenital deformity. The authors report a case of postaxial polydactyly with impending pathological fracture. Successful surgical correction was performed with an uneventful 10-month follow-up. Pertinent literature was reviewed and presented regarding classification systems, etiology, and treatment recommendations.
