Abstract:
Forty-six metatarsal osteotomies in 25 feet were performed in order to treat forefoot deformity. The authors used an exacting operative procedure based on oblique osteotomies of the metatarsal and rigid internal fixation. All osteotomies healed and only one patient was not satisfied with the operation. This technique provided predictable long-term results in the authors' hands, and also involved an easier postoperative course than conventional methods.
