Abstract
A shortened great toe and hallux valgus were frequently found in patients with FOP. Shortening and sharpening of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal bone consistently existed and contributed to the great toe deformity. These findings were thought to exist from birth and may be a key to an early diagnosis.
