According to the anatomical changes, deformities of the smaller toes often are referred to as hammer toe, club toe, and claw toe. In this article a new deformity, which often appears as inflammatory arthritis, is described. In this toe deformation, which the author calls zig-zag deformity, there are contractures at the metatarsophalangeal joints, and at the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Between January 1983 and June 1985, 70 patients with small-toe deformities were treated surgically: 64 by partial phalangeal resection and 6 by tendon transfer with the Girdlestone technique. The results are presented in this article.
