title: Metaphyseal osteotomy for the treatment of tailor's bunions.
abstract: There have been many surgical approaches described for the surgical treatment of tailor's bunions. The authors have been using a procedure that addresses both an elevated fourth to fifth intermetatarsal angle and an elevated lateral deviation angle, for the past 3 years. The metaphyseal osteotomy provides reliable correction of these two abnormalities and allows for uncomplicated rigid fixation.
