“…Bone healing is optimized by increasing the apposition of the fusion interface. To obtain the largest surface area for fusion, the level of the metaphyseal bone should be optimized to supply sufficient blood and complete the union [20]. Furthermore, arthrodesis with accurate alignment is important.…”

Background Many people with a longer second toe or lesser toes experience symptoms such as corns, hammertoe, and numerous others, especially when wearing open-toe shoes. Proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis using intraosseous loop wiring performed through a hidden side incision is a useful method to shorten the lesser toes aesthetically.Methods Aesthetic toe-shortening procedures were performed in 30 patients. All patients were evaluated by a physical examination and X-rays, and they underwent proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis using intraosseous loop wiring through a medial incision. Demographic characteristics, including foot morphology, were analyzed. The number of resected toes and resection amounts of each toe were measured. Patients’ satisfaction was determined through a questionnaire administered at each follow-up.Results In total, 91 toe-shortening procedures were performed in 30 patients who were followed up for an average of 24 months (range, 6–48 months). Sixteen patients had Greek-type feet (53.3%) and 14 had square-type feet (46.7%). Twelve patients had hammer toe deformity (40.0%) and 13 had corns (43.3%). The average length of the resected second and third toes was 9.66±2.79 mm (range, 5–15 mm) and 7.78±2.51 mm (range, 5–12 mm), respectively. The vast majority of patients were satisfied with the final results. No significant complications such as nonunion occurred. Only one case of mild angulation of the second toe was noted.Conclusions Aesthetic toe-shortening using the procedure described here can prevent the development of lessor toe deformities and provide permanent, aesthetically pleasing results with a short recovery time.

“…In addition, Yang et al . 3 have compared metaphyseal osteotomies with diaphyseal osteotomies and showed that metaphyseal osteotomies have the advantage of shortening operative time and promoting early postoperative pain relief as well as bone healing. However, there is no high level of evidence to support a specific type of osteotomy.…”
