Abstract
The use of a Shannon burr facilitates an osteotomy of the lesser metatarsals without requiring an open approach to the metatarsal. The end result that is aimed for is the same as for open surgery and therefore care needs to be taken to perform the bone cut in the appropriate manner. A description is provided of the surgical technique for distal minimally invasive osteotomy and its newer modifications-the distal intracapsular minimally invasive osteotomy and the distal oblique metatarsal osteotomy.
