Elongation of short metatarsal bones
Elongation of short metatarsal bones is an operation aimed at correcting deformities of the foot caused by insufficient length of one or more metatarsal bones.
Short metatarsal bones can be a congenital anomaly or the result of injuries and diseases. Elongation of the short metatarsal bones helps to restore the normal structure of the foot, improving load distribution and preventing the development of secondary deformities.
Treatment includes the use of special tools and techniques to lengthen the bones and stabilize them in a new position. This helps to restore the normal anatomy of the foot and improve the patient's quality of life. The operation is performed through small incisions, which minimizes injury and promotes rapid recovery. Patients can return to normal activity a few months after surgery.
General blood and urine analysis Coagulogram (assessment of blood clotting) ECG (electrocardiogram) to assess the condition of the heart Radiography of the foot Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
The surgeon makes incisions in the short metatarsal bones to "split" the bone into two parts. Next, the doctor installs a special device, a retainer or a distraction device, which allows you to gradually lengthen the bone by stretching the bone gap. After reaching the required bone length, the device is fixed in one position to ensure proper fusion of bone fragments. The lengthening process can take from several weeks to several months, depending on what the result should be.
Orthopedic instruments that provide precise bone elongation Locking devices such as spokes or plates Imaging systems: X-ray machines and computed tomographs
After surgery, a rehabilitation course is prescribed, which may include wearing special shoes or orthoses, physiotherapy and physical therapy. This helps strengthen the foot muscles and speed up the recovery process. The duration of recovery depends on the complexity of the operation and the individual characteristics of the patient, but usually ranges from several weeks to several months.
