    Summary

    A new intramedullary metatarsal decompression with condylectomy effectively relieves plantar pressure and associated pain. This minimally invasive procedure allows immediate walking with reduced postoperative complications compared to traditional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric Surgery
    • Orthopedic Biomechanics
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Excessive plantargrade pressure can lead to intractable plantar keratoma and metatarsal head pain.
    • Existing surgical methods may involve significant trauma and prolonged recovery.
    • A need exists for less invasive procedures with improved patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical technique for relieving excessive plantar pressure.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramedullary metatarsal decompression with condylectomy.
    • To compare this new method with conventional surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • A minimally invasive dorsal incision was utilized for the procedure.
    • Intramedullary metatarsal decompression with condylectomy was performed.
    • Patient outcomes were compared with control studies involving neck osteotomy on the same patient.

    Main Results:

    • The new method demonstrated reduced trauma, allowing immediate ambulation.
    • Postoperative pain and edema were minimal.
    • Fewer complications such as bone callus, displacement, transfer lesions, delayed healing, nonunion, and synostosis were observed compared to controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Intramedullary metatarsal decompression with condylectomy is a less traumatic and effective treatment for plantar keratoma and metatarsal pain.
    • The procedure offers comparable results to traditional methods with significantly fewer postoperative sequelae.
    • This technique represents a simplified and improved approach to managing specific foot conditions.
