Brachymetatarsia involves a reduction in length of one or more metatarsals. The affected metatarsal is shortened by 5 mm or more, altering the normal metatarsal parabola. In addition to being an aesthetic deformity, it can present with pain due to transfer metatarsalgia. A possible association with genetic disorders needs to be investigated during clinical evaluation. Surgical treatment may involve a one-stage lengthening procedure or progressive distraction, each having its advantages and limitations.
期刊介绍:
EFORT Open Reviews publishes high-quality instructional review articles across the whole field of orthopaedics and traumatology. Commissioned, peer-reviewed articles from international experts summarize current knowledge and practice in orthopaedics, with the aim of providing systematic coverage of the field. All articles undergo rigorous scientific editing to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and clarity.
This continuously published online journal is fully open access and will provide integrated CME. It is an authoritative resource for educating trainees and supports practising orthopaedic surgeons in keeping informed about the latest clinical and scientific advances.
One print issue containing a selection of papers from the journal will be published each year to coincide with the EFORT Annual Congress.
EFORT Open Reviews is the official journal of the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) and is published in partnership with The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery.
