Metatarsal osteotomy for metatarsalgia.
نویسنده
چکیده
An oblique osteotomy in the distal half of the metatarsal shaft is described for the treatment of metatarsalgia due to prolapse of one or more of the middle three metatarsal heads. Thirty-eight patients who have had this operation have been followed up for a period of from two to five years. The operation is simple, recovery is rapid and symptoms have been well relieved.

Lengthening of the shortened first metatarsal after Wilson's osteotomy for hallux valgus.
Metatarsalgia is a recognised complication following iatrogenic shortening of the first metatarsal in the management of hallux valgus. The traditional surgical treatment is by shortening osteotomies of the lesser metatarsals. We describe the results of lengthening of iatrogenic first brachymetatarsia in 16 females. A Scarf-type osteotomy was used in the first four cases and a step-cut of equal ...
متن کاملComparative study between Wilson and Mitchell metatarsal osteotomies for the treatment of hallux valgus in adults.
Although Mitchell osteotomy and Wilson osteotomy are two popular methods for the treatment of hallux valgus, there are no studies directly comparing their results. Fifty-six patients (73 feet) who underwent a Wilson osteotomy and 30 patients (34 feet) who had a Mitchell osteotomy were followed for a mean period of 33.7 and 38.9 months, respectively. The results were comparable in terms of hallu...

PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative results of modified Mitchell's osteotomy and its combination with oblique metatarsal osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus. METHODS A total of 93 feet of 53 patients (2 men and 51 women) with hallux valgus underwent modified Mitchell's osteotomy and were followed up for at least 5 years. Patients' age ranged from 17 to 83 years, and the duration of fol...
متن کاملDistal osteotomy of the lateral metatarsals: a series of 72 cases comparing the Weil osteotomy and the DMMO percutaneous osteotomy.
INTRODUCTION A Weil osteotomy with internal fixation can match the preoperative plan by precisely setting the metatarsal length; however 10 to 30% of patients end up experiencing postoperative stiffness. A percutaneous distal metatarsal mini-invasive osteotomy (DMMO) is a purely extra-articular technique; metatarsal length is set automatically upon weight bearing of the foot. The goal of this s...
متن کاملResolution of metatarsalgia following oblique osteotomy.
Metatarsalgia of the central ray is a major surgical challenge. Without precise correction, transfer lesions may occur at an adjacent metatarsal or patients may have inadequate pain relief. Current surgical treatment strategies do not facilitate precise positioning in different planes, resulting in disappointing outcomes. To achieve better outcomes we used an oblique sliding osteotomy to facili...
