“…It protects the cleft repair and restores the function of the intermetatarsal ligament. It is also thought to maintain the alignment of the metatarsal bones during growth so that they don't divert apart (10) . Instead of using single large drill hole to pass the fibre-wire, we used 3 transverse drill holes of 1mm diameter so as to decrease the chances of iatrogenic fracture and suture cut-out in such a young child.…”

Cleft foot is a congenital anomaly characterized by absence of the metatarsal bones and phalanges. It is commonly seen in children with Ectrodactyly-ectrodermal dysplasia and clefting syndrome (EEC) ranging from a median cleft up to the mid metatarsals to a deep cleft up to the tarsal bones. Surgical treatment in the form of cleft closure, excision of the rudimentary metatarsal bone and cross K-wire fixation of metatarsal bones have been tried for the management of such cases. Here, we report a case of one year old child with Type III cleft foot having four metatarsals, who was treated with suture-endobutton system using three transverse tunnels in the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal bones in order to bring them closer. We were able to achieve a satisfactory outcome with a normal fitting shoe wear. Keywords: Cleft foot; suture-button; fish mouth incision.

“…HAND 13 (4) deformity. 4,6,12,16 The purpose of our study was to investigate whether the suture-button device could provide sufficient stabilization to allow early range of motion following ring finger ray amputation, reliably close and maintain the intermetacarpal gap, and not produce scissoring of the adjacent digits.…”

“…The suture-button device (Mini TightRope, Arthrex; Naples, Florida) has been successful in similar cases requiring additional stability while awaiting soft tissue healing, such as in cases of trapeziectomy, longitudinal forearm instability, reconstruction of cleft foot, and hallux varus deformity. 4,6,12,16 The purpose of our study was to investigate whether the suture-button device could provide sufficient stabilization to allow early range of motion following ring finger ray amputation, reliably close and maintain the intermetacarpal gap, and not produce scissoring of the adjacent digits.…”
