Osteotomy of the First Metatarsal Base for Metatarsus Primus Varus
View through CrossRef
An opening wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal base using either iliac crest bone or the removed exostosis as a graft was used to treat metatarsus primus varus in 22 feet of 15 patients. The preoperative intermetatarsal angle averaged 15°, with the final angle averaging 8°. All osteotomies healed in 3 months with excellent cosmetic and functional results and no difference between iliac crest and exostosis grafts. We conclude that an opening wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal base is a satisfactory method for the correction of metatarsus primus varus.
