Classification of Middle Phalangeal Postaxial Polysyndactyly Based on Intraoperative Arthrography Is Useful for Surgical Decision-making in Children Younger Than 2 Years

Conclusions: Our new classification based on IOA helped determine the articular dominance and its detailed morphology, which can help predict postoperative stability and mobility of the remaining toe. IOA is a simple, safe, and useful imaging tool for the surgical treatment of foot MPPP in patients aged below 2 years. Level of Evidence: Level III.
