This is a Weil osteotomy of the 3rd metatarsal with screw fixation for a plantarflexed, painful metatarsal joint of the right foot. The patient had prior foot surgery on the 1st and 2nd metatarsals and had a relative plantarflexed 3rd metatarsal because of this. Conservative care did not ease pain, therefore surgery was elected. A 3.0 cannulated screw from Synthes was used for fixation. Dr. Patrick DeHeer, DPM.
