Brachymetatarsia is a congenital or developmental condition that results in a short metatarsal. Problems that arise from this condition can include pain, difficulty with shoe wear, and cosmetic concerns. Multiple techniques have been described that successfully correct the deformity, including both acute and gradual distraction. We describe a modification of the technique of gradual lengthening by way of distraction osteogenesis in which an axial transarticular K-wire is incorporated into a monolateral frame, thereby increasing the stability of the construct and potentially minimizing complications.
短趾症是一种先天性或发育性疾病，导致跖骨变短。由此引起的问题包括疼痛、穿鞋困难和外观问题。已经有多种技术被描述用于成功矫正畸形，包括急性和逐渐的牵伸。我们描述了一种通过关节内穿针骨延长术来改良逐渐延长技术的方法，即将轴向经关节 K 型钉整合到单侧框架中，从而增加了构建物的稳定性并可能最大限度地减少并发症。
