Abstract：Objective To investigate the application of the great toe fibular island flap for syndactyly separating.Methods A retrospective analysis of 24 patients with toe deformity from June 2014 to June 2017 was performed. There were 14 boys and 10 girls, the age ranged from 6 to 47 months(median 29.2 months). There were 8 cases involved first & second toes, 16 cases involved second ＆ third toes. The great toe fibular island flap was used for repairing skin defect of web during separating syndaetyly without skin grafting.Results All cases were corrected successfully with deep toe-webs and natural expansion between toes. Twenty-two patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months, with an average of 8.2 months. During a median follow up period of 8 months, excellent appearance and texture appeared without local pain. The color of flap was similar to that of adjacent skin without abnormal sensation. The toe fuction was good and similar to the healthy side, without serious complications.Conclusions The great toe fibular island flap may repair left skin defect in separating syndactyly of the first ＆ second toes and the second ＆ third toes without skin grafting. The flap is reliable, safe and efficient for syndactyly separating.
