Abstract
A review of autogenous bone graft alternatives for the correction of brachymetatarsia is presented with an introduction of a unique autogenous choice. This involves the harvesting of bone from the second and third digits of the ipsilateral foot and transplanting it to the hypoplastic fourth metatarsal. A case study is discussed with its indications, techniques, and results. Provided in the case study are photographs of preoperative and postoperative x-rays with a follow-up of 14 months.
