Abstract
Brachymetatarsia is a rare deformity with controversial clinical presentation. Multiple acute and gradual lengthening surgical techniques have been described for correction of this type of foot deformity. All techniques try to create a better appearance, facilitate shoeing, or solve possible transfer metatarsalgia. Either acute lengthening (1-stage procedure) or gradual lengthening (2 stages) is selected based on the patient's deformities, concerns, and clinical needs.
