[Management of metatarsalgia using Helal's method for metatarsal osteotomy].
Authors report on the result of Helal's metatarsal osteotomies performed on 62 feet of 48 patients for metatarsalgia. In 85 per cent the result proved to be excellent, in 15 per cent there was no improvement. Analysing the causes of the postoperative complaints they call attention to the overload of the marginal arches and to the metatarsalgia developing on the non osteotomized neighbouring arch. These complaints appeared in 1/3 of their material and could be generally well influenced with conservative treatment.
