abstract: Brachymetapody is an uncommon condition that can have both cosmetic and functional considerations. The literature is reviewed with respect to techniques for repair of short metatarsals. Surgical indications are discussed as well as techniques for repair. A case report of bilateral first and fourth metatarsal brachymetapody is reviewed with illustration of a successful surgical outcome after more than 5 years of follow-up.
