  • Title: Lesser metatarsal V-osteotomy for chronic intractable plantar keratosis. Retrospective analysis of 40 procedures.
    Author: Pontious J, Lane GD, Moritz JC, Martin W.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 1998 Jul; 88(7):323-31. PubMed ID: 9680768.
    Abstract:
    The authors studied 40 V-osteotomies of the lesser metatarsal performed for chronic intractable plantar keratosis. They discuss the effectiveness of the V-osteotomy for this deformity as well as other findings such as whether or not fixation of the osteotomy yields a better result (i.e., a lower incidence of complications). The results show that the V-osteotomy had limited effectiveness for this condition and resulted in a high complication rate.
