Abstract

In general, the operative treatment of the brachymetatarsia is the lengthening of the affected metatarsal bone due to the cosmetic problem rather than the functional one. We experienced 22 year-old female bilateral congenital foot deformities such as hallux varus and 1,4th brachymetatarsia treated with reverse Scarf osteotomy on the hallux varus and massive axial metatarsal shortening Weil osteotomy on the 2,3,5th metatarsals which could reconstruct the normal metatarsal parabola.
