Abstract |
Metatarsalgia is a common pathology in foot and ankle patients. After differentiating the patho-mechanisms and excluding non mechanical issues and installing a conservative treatment the remaining patients benefit from a surgical treatment by adjusting the metatarsal head localisation by the means of percutaneous shortening and lifting osteotomies. We present our experience in a case series from 2016-2021 including clinical results, complications and reoperation rates and the learning curve of surgeons. According to our experience DMMO for metatarsalgia are a safe reproducible procedure with a steep learning curve of the treating surgeons |
