Abstract 

Preaxial mirror polydactyly of foot is a rare congenital anomaly with even fewer documentations for definitive treatment. To provide a sensate, near normal foot with ability to wear shoes is difficult to achieve in this variant with fibular dimelia and calcaneal duplication, with a delayed presentation at 6 years. Our case obtained satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome upon excision of accessory calcaneum and the medial three toes along with covering the defect with local full thickness skin flap: a first of its kind mentioned in literature. We report this case because of its rarity and to share our surgical experience and its acceptable outcome.
