Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Human Anatomy
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Accessory metatarsals are rare congenital anomalies.
  • Limited literature exists on complete metatarsal duplication.
  • Understanding these variations is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A case report details an accessory metatarsal between the first and second metatarsals.
  • This rudimentary ray resulted in a splay foot deformity.
  • The deformity caused significant discomfort during shoe wear.

Findings:

  • The accessory metatarsal represents a form of complete metatarsal duplication.
  • This condition leads to biomechanical foot issues and altered foot morphology.
  • Classification and treatment strategies for such anomalies are not well-established.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of accessory metatarsals is essential for effective management.
  • Further research is needed to classify and standardize treatment for metatarsal duplication.
  • Addressing this congenital anomaly can improve patient mobility and quality of life.
