  • Title: Evolution of the Weil Osteotomy: The Triple Osteotomy.
    Author: Monteagudo M, Maceira E.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2019 Dec; 24(4):599-614. PubMed ID: 31653365.
    Abstract:
    Weil osteotomy (WO) is the most common technique worldwide for the treatment of mechanical metatarsalgia. The main indication for WO is propulsive/third rocker metatarsalgia that is in relation with an abnormal length of a certain metatarsal with respect to the neighboring metatarsals in the frontal plane. Most clinical studies have showed good to excellent results after WO. However, complications such as floating toes led to evolution of WO and the development of the triple-cut WO that allows for shortening coaxial to the shaft without plantar translation of metatarsal head. Other variations of WO may treat other forefoot disorders.
