title: Reconstruction of adactyly for 4th and 5th toes: the study of foot pressure.
abstract: Analysis of foot pressures in cases of reconstructed adactyly of the lateral toes is presented. Two cases with adactyly of the 4th and 5th toes in which new toes were created by cross-knee tubed pedicle flap were chosen and foot pressures of both the operated foot and the contralateral normal foot were measured postoperatively. The results did not indicate any functional disturbance after this method of reconstruction.
