Percutaneous Distraction Osteogenesis for Treatment of Brachymetatarsia

Callus Distraction Versus Single-Stage Lengthening With Bone Graft for Treatment of Brachymetatarsia: A Systematic Review

This technique might help to decrease the complications of MTPJ stiffness and subluxation; however, published data with large patient sets using this technique are lacking.…”
