The bifid great toe: a surgical approach.
The surgical treatment of bifid great toes has not generated as much interest as that of its upper extremity counterpart. Early treatment of this foot deformity is necessary for ease of shoe wear and cosmesis. Five feet surgically corrected by a variation of the Bilhaut-Cloquet procedure were followed up for 4 years. Because of postoperative nail bed deformities, the nail splitting incision of Bilhaut-Cloquet should be avoided.
