The Rotterdam Foot Classification: A Classification System for Medial Polydactyly of the Foot
Conclusions:
The proposed classification system contains 4 categories of anatomic features of the foot. Classification of all categories shows moderate to good reliability. Use of the Rotterdam classification in evaluating medial polydactyly improves type-specific description, which may, in the future, enhance the evaluation of surgical treatment.
Clinical Relevance:
The Rotterdam foot classification system is a reliable and easy-to-use system that we believe will improve communication between clinicians and researchers and facilitate the evaluation of treatment results in medial polydactyly of the foot.
