Disease relevance of Hammer Toe Syndrome

 

High impact information on Hammer Toe Syndrome

  • This region is homologous to a segment of mouse chromosome 5, where the mutations hammer toe (HM) and hemimelic extra toes (HX) have been mapped [4].
  • Three dominant visible markers, hammer-toe (Hm), steel (Sl), and caracul-J (CaJ), located on chromosomes 5, 10, and 15, respectively, have been introduced onto the MEV genetic background by repeated backcrosses to provide additional linkage markers [5].
  • Physical anomalies included hypertonicity, microcephaly, short neck, apparently low-set ears, micrognathia, camptodactyly, mild rocker bottom feet, and hammer toe [6].
  • This analysis supports the hypothesis that posteromedial middle one-third tibial stress symptoms may be related to overuse of the flexor digitorum longus muscle associated with mild claw toe deformity [7].
  • The authors reviewed 177 second, third, and fourth proximal interphalangeal joint fusions for the correction of hammer toe deformities in 85 patients from 1988 to 1998 at the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. The average age of the patients was 49 years [8].
