Introduction:
Brachymetatarsia can be treated by lengthening of the affected metatarsals or shortening of the normal neighboring metatarsals. Combination of the two methods may be more effective rather than using one skill due to less complications.
Case Report:
A 56-year-old female patient with the bilateral first, fourth-ray brachymetatarsia underwent Weil osteotomy of the second, third, fifth metatarsals, and callotasis of the fourth metatarsal. Follow-up examination had been carried out since the surgery was done about 10 years ago.
Conclusions:
In the decade after observation, the patient was very satisfied with the shape and function of the feet, and no complications occurred.
