Butler's operation for congenital overriding of the fifth toe. Retrospective 1-7-year study of 23 cases.
I reviewed 17 children with overriding of the fifth toe, treated by Butler's arthroplasty; 6 underwent bilateral operation. Satisfactory results were obtained in all but 1 patient, and all could wear normal shoes.
