2021, Journal of Foot and Ankle SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Surgical methods for the cases of polydactyly consisted of excision of the fifth or sixth toe in consideration of the appearance and radiographic alignment of the toe, resection of excess cartilage and bone from the widened articular surface with shaving of the joint cartilage to align the joint, and transfer of the abductor digiti minimi muscle from the sixth to fifth toe (3). Restoration of ligamentous stability was performed using a modification of Manske's technique for thumb polydactyly (3,6). Briefly, the collateral ligament of the excised toe was carefully detached from its distal insertion in continuity with the adjacent periosteum.
