In this study, we analyzed the consequences of floating toe deformities after the performance of a modified Weil osteotomy (MWO) or a modified Weil osteotomy with interphalangeal fixation (MWOIF).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a retrospective review with a prospective follow-up of 50 patients (98% women, 120 rays) who underwent MWO (65 rays) or MWOIF (55 rays), with a mean age of 54 \u00b1 12 years and a minimum follow-up of 4 years (mean of 6 years). We analyzed the presence of floating toe deformity in MWO and MWOIF and the outcomes measured by the subjective satisfaction, Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), American Orthopaedic Foot &amp; Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, and quality of prehension force between patients with or without floating toe deformity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean floating toe incidence was of 57%, with no significant difference between operative techniques (48% MWO, 67% MWOIF; P = .053).
