New concepts in metatarsal head osteotomies: reverse buckling techniques.

The deformity of hallux abducto valgus is often accompanied by the deformity of metatarsus primus varus. These deformities are often attributed to familial tendencies, faulty structure, and impaired function. However, once manifest, the deformity of metatarsus primus varus is partially maintained through medial retrograde buckling of the abducted hallux. In selected flexible deformities, Stable surgical correction may be obtained through the principles of reverse buckling.

Macrodactyly and hemihypertrophy: a new surgical procedure.

Macrodactyly or megalodactyly is a rare congenital malformation of essentially unknown etiology. Treatment of this affliction is generally surgical and is dependent on the type of growth rate of the enlarged digit. Hemihypertrophy, another rare anomaly of development, describes an overgrowth of one half of the body. Hemihypertrophy, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the podiatric literature. A new surgical approach is discussed and presented in a patient with local digital gigantism and hemihypertrophy.
