Surgical correction included medial soft tissue release, metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis, two-pin fixation of bones, metatarsophalangeal joint capsulorrhaphy, and coverage of the skin defect with a “Z” plasty of the skin and split thickness skin grafting. Follow up 20 months later showed satisfactory results.
