This case study details the treatment of a rare mirror foot anomaly, a type of preaxial polydactyly. Optimal surgical strategies for this congenital extremity malformation require further investigation due to limited documentation.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric Surgery
- Medical Genetics
Background:
- Polydactyly involves extra digits, with mirror foot being a rare preaxial variant.
- Mirror foot anomaly presents as a mirror-image duplication of the foot.
- Defining mirror foot is challenging due to diverse reported patterns.
