Abstract
Abstract: Metatarsus adductus is a common congenital foot deformity with an inward deviation of the forefoot occurring in the transverse plane of the foot. This article describes a minimally invasive approach using proximal metatarsal metaphyseal osteotomies to address the adduction of metatarsals at the tarsometatarsal joint complex. This approach offers possible advantages of minimally invasive surgery over open procedures in terms of outcomes, including lowered incidences of sagittal malunion, nonunion of the arthrodesis or metatarsal osteotomy, wound healing complications, and joint stiffness. Further research is warranted for the long-term outcomes of the procedure and how much of the deformity can be corrected. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
