title: Varus toes: a review and case report.
abstract: The authors present an overview of varus or curly toe deformity. This congenital deformity can be seen in many generations of the same family, with no greater incidence in males or females. The hereditary influences on the inheritance of this deformity have not been clearly defined but appear to follow an x-linked or autosomal dominant pattern. The deformity is very often dismissed by physicians, and if left untreated can lead to more serious digital pathology later in life.
