The tilt-up osteotomy for correction of intractable plantar keratoses.
The purpose of this paper is to describe and follow-up a new surgical technique used for the correction of intractable plantar keratoses. Twenty-five osteotomies were studied from 8 to 20 months postoperatively. The results showed a 60% success rate, but a patient satisfaction rate of 92%. The tilt-up osteotomy is a promising new procedure for the correction of intractable plantar keratoses.
