Abstract

Callotasis has been widely used to treat brachymetatarsia. But various complications have been reported. Avascular necrosis of the $4^{th}$ brachymetatarsia treated by callotasis has not been frequently addressed in the literature. We report 1 cases of avascular necrosis of the $4^{th}$ brachymetatarsia treated by callotasis with a review of the literature.
