title: Distal oblique osteotomy for intractable plantar keratosis of the middle three metatarsals.
abstract: On the middle metatarsals of 49 patients with symptomatic intractable plantar keratosis, 69 distal oblique osteotomies were performed. With an average follow-up time of 16 months, 83% of the results were rated good. This procedure is contraindicated for an intractable plantar keratosis with an associated fixed metatarsphalangeal joint deformity, however.
