Özet:

 Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of biphalangeal toes in the Turkish population. Materials and Methods: Radiographs of 1096 cases n1286 feet between September 2020 and August 2022 were analyzed. Our study had 386 left foot radiographs, 439 right foot radiographs, and 189 bilateral radiographs. Foot radiographs were assessed for biphalangealism of the second to the fifth toe. Data regarding sex, age, side, the number of phalanges of the fifth, fourth, third, and second toe, and the reason for performing radiographs were assessed. Groups were compared using Fishers exact test and the Chi-square test. Results: The prevalence of biphalangealism in the fifth toe was found to be 35.70, in the fourth toe 1.70, in the third toe 0.50 and in the second toe 0.20. The difference in the frequency of biphalangeal and triphalangeal toes regarding sex and the rightleft foot was statistically insignificant p0.245, p0.815 respectively. The asymmetrical distribution of the fifth biphalangeal toe was seen in 6.90, and the asymmetrical distribution of the fourth biphalangeal toe was 0.50 in the 189 bilateral feet radiographs. Conclusions: With this study, we found and demonstrated that the incidence of biphalangeal fifth toe is 35.70 and that this anatomical variant in the Turkish population is similar to other Turkish studies. The biphalangeal fifth toe must be kept in mind during the assessment of a case with foot pathologies and foot radiographs. Additionally, biphalangealism is not observed in the 4th and 3rd fingers on the same foot without the 5th finger being biphalangeal.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, ayak parmaklarında bifalangeal varyantın Türk toplumundaki sıklığını araştırmayı amaçladı. Araçlar ve Yöntem: Eylül 2020 ile Ağustos 2022 arasında 1096 vakanın n1286 ayak radyografileri analiz edildi. Çalışmamızda 386 sol ayak grafisi, 439 sağ ayak grafisi ve 189 iki taraflı grafi mevcuttu. Ayak radyografileri ikinci ila beşinci parmaklarının bifalangealizmi açısından değerlendirildi. Cinsiyet, yaş, taraf, beşinci, dördüncü, üçüncü ve ikinci ayak parmaklarının falanks sayısı ve radyografi çekilme nedeni ile ilgili veriler değerlendirildi. Gruplar Fisher kesin testi ve Ki-kare testi kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Bifalangealizmin beşinci ayak parmağında görülme sıklığı 35.70, dördüncü parmağında 1.70, üçüncü parmağında 0.50 ve ikinci parmağında ise 0.20 olarak tespit edildi. Cinsiyete ve sağsol ayağa göre bifalangeal ve trifalangeal parmaklarının sıklığı arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi sırasıyla p0.245, p0.815. 189 iki taraflı ayak grafisinde beşinci bifalangeal parmağın asimetrik dağılımı 6.90, dördüncü bifalangeal parmağın asimetrik dağılımı ise 0.50 olarak görüldü. Sonuç: Bu çalışmayla, bifalangeal beşinci ayak parmağının görülme sıklığını 35.70 ve Türk toplumundaki bu anatomik varyantın diğer Türk çalışmaları ile benzer olduğunu bulduk ve gösterdik. Ayak patolojisi olan bir olgunun ayak röntgeni değerlendirilmesi sırasında iki falankslı beşinci ayak parmağı akılda tutulmalıdır. Ayrıca, aynı ayakta 5. parmak bifalangeal olmadan 4. 3. parmaklarda biphalengealizm görülmemektedir.
