Abstract
A surgical technique using an advancement plantar skin flap to maintain the resection gap closure when performing central ray resections is described and illustrated. The concept, applicable to central polydactyly or polysyndactyly of the foot, was developed with goals of providing a skin tether to maintain a normally narrow foot as well as to improve the appearance of the surgical scar.
