Corrective Surgery for Brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a condition where one or more metatarsal bones in the foot are abnormally short, causing structural imbalance and potential functional problems. Our surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to lengthen the affected bone and restore proper foot alignment. Through carefully planned procedures, we can address both the cosmetic concerns and any underlying biomechanical issues that may be causing discomfort or affecting your gait.
Our surgical approach combines precision planning with minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. Using specialized instruments and imaging guidance, we gradually or directly lengthen the shortened metatarsal to match the proper anatomical length. The result is improved foot function, better weight distribution, and relief from associated pain or pressure points. Most patients experience noticeable improvement in comfort and appearance within the first few weeks, with full recovery and return to normal activities typically achieved within two to three months depending on the extent of correction.
Brachymetatarsia can affect one or multiple metatarsals and may cause issues such as forefoot pain, callus formation, gait abnormalities, or cosmetic concerns. Our personalized surgical plans account for your specific anatomy and goals. By restoring proper metatarsal length and alignment, we help you achieve a more functional, comfortable foot and prevent complications that could develop over time.
