This review examines metatarsalgia causes and complications, recommending oblique osteotomy with rigid fixation for better outcomes. Understanding biomechanics is key to avoiding surgical issues.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Podiatric medicine

Background:

  • Metatarsalgia is a complex foot condition with various etiologies.
  • Understanding the anatomical and biomechanical factors is crucial for effective management.
  • Complications following metatarsal osteotomy can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomic and biomechanical aspects of metatarsalgia.
  • To classify the causes of metatarsalgia.
  • To evaluate lesion symptom complexes and identify reasons for complications after metatarsal osteotomy.
  • To discuss methods for avoiding complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on metatarsalgia.
  • Classification of etiological factors (structural, functional, combined).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of symptom complexes and post-operative complications.
  • Evaluation of surgical techniques and fixation methods.

    • Main Results:

    • Metatarsalgia causes are categorized into structural, functional, or combined.
    • Specific reasons for complications after metatarsal osteotomy are identified.
    • The oblique osteotomy with rigid fixation is highlighted as a recommended procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough understanding of anatomy and biomechanics is essential for treating metatarsalgia.
    • Identifying and addressing the root cause of metatarsalgia can prevent complications.
    • Oblique osteotomy with rigid fixation at the distal surgical neck or proximal metaphysis is advised for optimal results.
