    A new surgical technique corrects overlapping fifth toes using precision instruments for an abductory wedge osteotomy. This method, combined with soft tissue revisions, effectively realigns this common foot deformity.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Skeletal deformities

    Background:

    • Overlapping fifth toe (pinky toe) is a common foot deformity.
    • Traditional surgical methods may have limitations in precision and effectiveness.

    Observation:

    • Advancements in precision power surgical instrumentation enable precise osteotomies on small bones.
    • The study focuses on correcting the overlapping fifth toe deformity.

    Findings:

    • A novel surgical method combines an abductory wedge osteotomy with soft tissue revisions.
    • This technique allows for exacting osteotomies on small bones, facilitating accurate realignment.
    • The combined approach effectively corrects the overlapping fifth toe.

    Implications:
