One-stage Bone Lengthening in the Management of Brachymetatarsia
One-stage Bone Lengthening in the Management of Brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a shortening in length of a metatarsal exceeding 5mm. This congenital
 anomaly most often affecting women and the second metatarsal is associated with frequent
 aesthetic disorders leading patients to consult. The one-time lengthening technique is
 described for the management of brachymetatarsia with good functional results. However, the
 metatarsal elongation in one time is limited to 15 millimeters, to avoid complications.

 No study has presented the consequences of hypocorrection, especially cosmetic. Our
 hypothesis is that undercorrection (Hypocorrection) is associated with a higher rate of
 cosmetic dissatisfaction.
