Metatarsus varus deformity and its treatment by metatarsal osteotomy

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic correction obtained by metatarsal osteotomy in patients with congenital or residual metatarsus varus deformity due to previously treated talipes equinovarus. Methods: Corrective metatarsal osteotomy was performed in 15 feet of 11 patients (9 males, 2 females) with congenital (n=6) or residual (n=5) metatarsus varus deformities. The deformity was bilateral in four and unilateral in seven patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 7 years and 1 month (range 4 years and 3 months to 11 years and 2 months), and the mean follow-up was 4 years and 7 months (range 1 year and 7 months to 11 years and 2 months). Results: All patients but one showed both clinical and radiographic improvement. On radiographic evaluation, the mean pre-and postoperative naviculometatarsal angles in 13 feet of 10 patients were 132.3° (range 112° to 142°) and 94.6° (range 80° to 110°), respectively. In one patient with bilateral involvement, the talo-first metatarsal angle was 38° on the right and 40° on the left preoperatively, and 5° on the right and 0° on the left postoperatively. The results were evaluated as excellent in five feet, good in eight feet, moderate in one foot, and poor in one foot. Shortening of 0.5 cm (10%) in the first metatarsal bone was observed in one patient and impairment of the epiphyseal plate of the first metatarsal bone was detected on magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion: The results of metatarsal osteotomy proved to be better in patients with congenital metatarsus varus deformity compared to those with residual metatarsus varus deformity. Since shortening of the first metatarsal bone may occur if osteotomy is performed near the epiphyseal plate or with extensive periosteal stripping, attention should be paid not to injure the epiphyseal plate and the periosteum during osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone
