    This report details a rare case of brachymetatarsia with absent middle phalanges. Surgical correction using bunionectomy, prosthetic joint implantation, and osteotomy yielded satisfactory results for this unique microdactyly presentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Congenital Abnormalities
    • Foot and Ankle Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Brachymetatarsia, characterized by short metatarsal bones, can present with various associated anomalies.
    • Congenital absence of middle phalanges is an uncommon finding, particularly when occurring with brachymetatarsia.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of brachymetatarsia was observed, accompanied by the complete congenital absence of all middle phalanges in the foot.
    • This specific combination of congenital foot anomalies is believed to be unprecedented in medical literature.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent a multi-component surgical intervention.
    • Procedures included a bunionectomy, implantation of a double-stemmed prosthetic joint in the fourth metatarsophalangeal joint, and an osteotomy of the second metatarsal bone.

  • These surgical techniques resulted in satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of congenital brachymetatarsia and phalangeal anomalies.
    • It highlights the efficacy of combined surgical approaches for correcting complex microdactyly.
    • The presented surgical strategy offers a viable option for similar rare foot deformities.
