Abstract

Single-digit clubbing is a rare physical sign, with only a few cases reported in the literature. The causes of single-digit clubbing are myxoid cyst, osteoid osteoma, enchondromas, myxochondromas, superficial acral fibromyxoma, sarcoidosis, median, and ulnar nerve injury. We hereby report a case of solitary digital clubbing of the toe due to an underlying occult fracture.

Keywords: Hippocratic toes; clubbing; unidigital clubbing.
