HP:0010511
What it means
Toes that appear disproportionately long compared to the foot.
This finding must be distinguished from digits that are thin but of normal length and that of a short mid and hind foot with normal digit lengths. The affected digits should be specified. If only a subset of the digits of a limb is lengthened, the affected digits should be specified.
