Hallux Varus And Preaxial Polysyndactyly
Clinical Features
Kleiner and Holmes (1980) described 2 brothers with bilateral hallux varus. The propositus had clinodactyly of both fifth fingers. Radiographs showed that the first metatarsals and phalanges of both great toes were broad, short, and misshapen. His younger brother had preaxial polysyndactyly of the great toes. Radiographs showed broad, short, and misshapen first metatarsals, duplication of the proximal phalanges, and triplication of the distal phalanges on the right foot and duplication on the left. Neither brother had any other malformations. The parents were not related and showed no skeletal abnormality.
InheritanceKleiner and Holmes (1980) could not establish a pattern of inheritance in the family they reported but considered autosomal dominant inheritance unlikely.
