“…Uncorrected distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is one of the risk factors for recurrence of the deformity. 4,5,10,11,21 If necessary, a shorter osteotomy with a greater rotational effect is created, to ensure proximal translation and correction of the DMAA and to avoid impingement with the second metatarsal. 6,15 Once impaction is achieved, the excessive medial overhanging cortical-cancellous triangular bony fragment is resected, preserved, turned upside down, and impacted into the proximal plantar medullary canal.…”
