A Rare Foot Duplication; Mirror Foot - Case Report

Polydactyly is a congenital extremity malformation defined by the presence of additional digits. The mirror foot anomaly, regarded as a rare variant of preaxial polydactyly, is characterized by a mirror image duplication of the foot. Due to the variability of mirror foot patterns reported in the literature, defining the term “mirror foot” remains challenging. In this case study, we present the treatment of a five-year-old male patient with a mirror foot anomaly who was admitted to our outpatient clinic. There is no consensus on the optimal surgical management strategy, and very few cases have been documented in the literature.
