    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Iatrogenically induced flail toe presents a surgical challenge.
    • Long-standing painful heloma molle between the fourth and fifth toes requires effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate syndactylism as a surgical option for flail toe correction.
    • To assess the efficacy of syndactylism combined with proximal phalanx head resection for heloma molle.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical correction using syndactylism.
    • Combined procedure involving fifth proximal phalanx head resection.
    • Modifications to skin incision for aesthetic outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Syndactylism achieves stability in the affected digit.

  • The procedure can enable a return to normal shoegear.
  • Combined syndactylism and resection effectively eliminates fibrotic tissue and maintains toe stability.

    • Conclusions:

    • Syndactylism is an excellent surgical choice for iatrogenic flail toe.
    • The combined procedure is the treatment of choice for painful heloma molle between the fourth and fifth toes.
    • Meticulous technique and patient compliance ensure favorable outcomes.
