description Cleft foot is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a central conical defect and deficiency of the foot rays. Syndactyly is the fusion of the skin with or without the bone of adjacent digits, and it may be associated with syndrome-related cleft foot. The aim of the treatment of cleft foot and syndactyly is to obtain a normal form and function by closing the cleft defect, obtaining symmetrical and cosmetic feet, allowing patients to wear normal shoes comfortably, and preventing collapse and angulation deformities of the toes. In this study, the treatment of congenital cleft foot and syndactyly coexistence is presented, and it is demonstrated that excess skin after soft-tissue syndactylization of the cleft foot can be used to reconstruct syndactyly defects.
