ABSTRACT
Distal osteotomies are the original osteotomies performed in the first metatarsal for bunion surgery. Many of these can be fashioned to improve an abnormal DMAA. Correction of an abnormally wide first-second IM angle is a goal of the newer procedures. Lateral transposition at the osteotomy site first performed by Mitchell helps accomplish this goal. The chevron modification improves stability and offers sufficient correction for mild-to-moderate deformities. Fixation is recommended after metatarsal osteotomy. The distal chevron procedure has been associated with lower degrees of correction, but the risk of transfer metatarsalgia is minimized. Shortening is less likely compared with some distal osteotomies but can occur. Advanced age is not a contraindication for distal metatarsal osteotomy. Avascular necrosis is highly unusual after this procedure.
