Impact of first metatarsal shortening on forefoot loading pattern: a finite element model study

Abstract Backgrounds There has long been a consensus that shortening of the first metatarsal during hallux valgus reconstruction could lead to postoperative transfer metatarsalgia. However, appropriate shortening is sometimes beneficial for correcting severe deformities or relieving stiff joints. Th...
