Overlapping Toes: - involves an dorsal-adduction deformity of the 5th toe; - other components of the deformity include external rotation of the digit, contracture of the EDL tendon; - in some cases there may be dislocation of the MTP joint; - often the deformity is familial and bilateral;
Curly Toes: - involves malrotation of one or more toes along w/ digit flexion deformity; - in contrast, hammer toes are generally not mal-rotated; - may be due to contracture of FDL and FDB; - common disorder in children - look for symmetric deformity in the opposite foot
