Abstrakt:	During routine dissection, we observed a unique case of unilateral polydactyly in the left foot of a 61-year-old male cadaver. We observed the medial head of the quadratus plantae (QP) muscle, which gave off an additional tendinous slip before joining the lateral head of QP. The 4th tendon of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) was bifurcated into two tendinous parts after receiving a thin fibrous slip from the tendinous slip of the medial head of QP. The medial division of the 4th tendon of FDL passed forward and attached to the base of the distal phalanx of the 5th toe. The extra tendinous slip from the medial head of QP was attached distally to the lateral division of the 4th tendon of FDL and formed a common anomalous tendon to the 6th toe. The knowledge of this variation would be helpful in reconstructive foot surgeries and correction of congenital deformities.
