19. Quintus Varus

Clinodactyly of the fifth ray is usually of congenital origin, sometimes becoming progressive during adolescence. It is less common than comparable deformities of the other toes. When it occurs in infancy the concerned parent notices supraductus (dorsal overlapping) of the little toe. The condition is easily correctable, and the fifth metatarsal is not in a valgus posture; there is no cutaneous contracture, but the extensor tendon is tight.
