چکیده

We performed distal chevron osteotomy of the second, third, or fourth metatarsal for painful plantar callosities in 19 non-rheumatoid patients (16 women, 3 men; 21 feet); their mean age was 59 years (32 to 85). The mean follow-up was four years (2 to 7). The overall results were good in 16 feet, fair in two, and poor in three, with four patients still having painful plantar callosities. There was union in all feet, but transfer metatarsalgia developed in three and three required an orthosis. Distal chevron osteotomy for intractable plantar callosities was successful both clinically and radiologically in most patients.

Plantar pressures and relative metatarsal lengths in older people with and without forefoot pain

Background It has been suggested that plantar forefoot pain (‘metatarsalgia’) may be caused by the presence of abnormally long lesser metatarsals leading to excessive loading of the metatarsal heads when walking. However, evidence to support this proposed mechanism is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether plantar pressures during gait and the relative lengths ...
