Brachymetatarsia (congenitally short toe) Correction by the Callous Distraction Method
Brachymetatarsia, a condition characterized by an overlying toe on the foot is actually the result of a shortened long bone of the foot (metatarsal). Usually, not seen at birth, the condition may gradually develop with time becoming evident between ages four and fifteen. Often this condition is emotionally traumatic and embarrassing to the individual, preventing them from wearing any shoe gear that would expose this condition.
Our patients have enjoyed a wonderful physical transformation with this reconstructive foot procedure for brachymetatarsia. It has allowed our patients to enjoy the life that they deserve and to forget about how they have suffered with this condition prior to the operation.
The external fixation device is used to gradually lengthen the bone over several weeks. This is a very safe procedure and is monitored closely after the operation by your Cambridge Foot & Ankle physician.

Our surgeons are on staff at several hospitals and surgical centers in Orange County. Most of our surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means a quicker return to the comforts of your own home after surgery.
