Maffucci`s Syndrome

Maffucci`s Syndrome is usually associated with a bony prominence under the toenail.

Some form of injury or trauma to the toe results in the formation of the bony irregularity or prominence.


Records indicate that amputations and other forms of surgery due to infections of the feet, many brought about by diabetes, have been significantly reduced in recent years because of early diagnosis and treatment. Further reduction in this area is a goal of Healthy People 2010, a US Department of Health and Human Services campaign endorsed by podiatric physicians, to encourage understanding and application of preventive medical practices.
