Abstract
We report the results of 31 cases of metatarsus adductus treated by an original procedure consisting of partial capsulotomy of the first cun eiform metatarsal joint, sectioning of the abductor hallucis brevis, a nd dome-shaped osteotomy of the proximal metaphysis of the second, thi rd, and fourth metatarsals. The results were good in 29 cases. The two poor results were in serpentine feet. This procedure is appropriate f or persistent congenital metatarsus adductus and for residual metatars us adductus in clubfeet.
