A novel surgical technique, the long arm decompression osteotomy, is introduced for treating hallux limitus. This procedure effectively shortens and plantarflexes the first metatarsal bone.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Foot and ankle reconstruction

Background:

  • Hallux limitus is a degenerative condition affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • Early stages (Stage I or II) may benefit from surgical intervention to improve joint mechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new osteotomy technique for Stage I or II hallux limitus.
  • To describe the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of the long arm decompression osteotomy.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed description of the long arm decompression osteotomy procedure.
  • Explanation of patient selection criteria (indications).

Main Results:

  • The long arm decompression osteotomy allows for shortening of the first metatarsal.

  • Plantarflexion of the first metatarsal can be achieved with this technique.

    • Conclusions:

    • The long arm decompression osteotomy is a viable surgical option for early-stage hallux limitus.
    • This technique offers specific advantages and has associated disadvantages that should be considered.
