Brachymetatarsia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Cosmetic Satisfaction and Undercorrection After One-stage Bone Lengthening in the Management of Brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a shortening in length of a metatarsal exceeding 5mm. This congenital
anomaly most often affecting women and the second metatarsal is associated with frequent
aesthetic disorders leading patients to consult. The one-time lengthening technique is
described for the management of brachymetatarsia with good functional results. However, the
metatarsal elongation in one time is limited to 15 millimeters, to avoid complications.
No study has presented the consequences of hypocorrection, especially cosmetic. Our
hypothesis is that undercorrection (Hypocorrection) is associated with a higher rate of
cosmetic dissatisfaction.
