First Metatarsal Callus Distraction
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2008We describe the results in seven patients who underwent surgery to lengthen a short first metatarsal via callus distraction. The increased length achieved ranged from 13 to 48 mm, with an average of 20.2 mm. The technique was successful in restoring length and improving symptoms, although several complications were encountered.

ABSTRACT Shortening of the first metatarsal is known to occur during hallux valgus surgeries. If the shortened first ray disrupts the normal weight transfer, then transfer metatarsalgia may result. After failed conservative treatment, a common operative option is osteotomy of the lesser metatarsals.

Malunion of a first metatarsal osteotomy or fracture can result in dorsal angulation of the distal fragment and shortening of the metatarsal, among other deformities. Dorsal malunion can be caused by improper orientation of the osteotomy, poor intraoperative fixation, or loss of fixation post-operatively due to premature weight bearing or catastrophic ...

First metatarsal fractures are rare because of their thick size and shape. They are to be treated aggressively because of the prolonged disability associated with such fractures. Any injury to the first ray may drastically alter the pattern of normal gait and weight-bearing.
