Cleft foot

Abnormal condition in which the separation between the third and fourth toes extends into the foot.


A rare congenital abnormality characterised by the absence of one or more toes and a deep central cleft that divides the foot into two. It is sometimes known as lobster foot, or lobster claw. It may be accompanied by other congenital defects, such as cleft hand, absent permanent teeth, cleft palate (and/or lip), absence of the nails, and defects of the eye.


A condition in which a cleft extends between the digits to the metatarsal region, usually due to a missing digit and metatarsal.
