“…One approach has been osteotomy through all of the metatarsals from 1 through 5 through their bases; and several authors have reported this procedure with reasonably good results. Holden et al, 4 however, reported shortening of the first ray in 30% of these patients that they attribute to damage to the proximal physis of the first metatarsal during the osteotomy. It should be noted that the physis of the first metatarsal is proximal and near the osteotomy site, whereas the other metatarsals have their growth plates distally.…”

“…In a cuboidal osteotomy alone, ligament loosening in children appears to have resulted in further correction of the deformity appearance during surgery. Holden et al (20) described in 1992 the COWO with the base of metatarsals 2-5 to correct the deformity. As a result, the dorsal and middle joints of the foot did not fuse and the risk of rst metatarsal phase damage was low.The growth of the rst metatarsus is not compromised and the fore foot deformity is easily corrected.…”

“…In fact, published results have shown an average of 2 to 6 mm of shortening with distal chevron osteotomies, and nearly 3 mm of shortening with proximal osteotomies. 3,6,4,7,8,9 Mann et al 9 suggested that first metatarsal shortening of only 2 to 3 mm has potential adverse effects on the forefoot, and they recommended plantar displacement of the distal metatarsal head when metatarsal shortening is significant. 9…”
