title: Standing nail deformity of the great toes with multiple brachymetacarpia and brachyphalangia of the hand.
abstract: We report the surgical treatment of two patients who had rare complex anomalies of the foot and hand. The nails of their great toes curved dorsally as if they were standing on the nail matrix. They had difficulty in flexing the interphalangeal joint of the great toe. Their hands showed multiple and sporadic brachymetacarpia and brachyphalangia.
