Abstract
Presence of one or more digit is called as polydactyly and
may manifest singly or with other genetic disorders. The
frequency of polydactyly varies widely among populations.
It can occur as an isolated condition or as a feature of a
congenital condition. Polydactyly is a rare condition, but
still rare is in form of triple great toes. We describe a case
in a 4‑year‑old child diagnosed as triphalangism foot with
no other obvious visible anomaly. Osteoplasty‑combined
surgery, which was ideal for anatomical reconstruction.
In a 16‑month follow‑up period child recovered very well.
