Abstract:
A transmetatarsal pin was used as part of an Ilizarov apparatus to correct equinovarus deformity of a foot in a 7-year-old patient. The pin created synostosis between the metatarsal bones. The synostosis led to persistent flattening of the transverse arch of the foot, producing a painful gait. To avoid this problem, we recommend that the metatarsal wire be placed only through the first and fifth metatarsals rather than through the neighboring metatarsals.
