Abstract

Brachymetatarsia is a rare deformity of uncertain etiology. It is defined as shortening of a metatarsal bone proximal to the parabolic arch. Different presentations and metatarsal involvements have been described. Many surgical techniques can be performed; however, single-stage lengthening is favored nowadays. We present a unique clinical picture of Brachymetatarsia. Our case has a symptomatic complain along with cosmetic concerns. Radiographs confirmed the diagnosis and surgical management planned accordingly. We describe our successful experience using singlestage lengthening of the third metatarsal bone. After following the patient for 3 months, we did not encounter any complications. We recommend using the single-stage lengthening to avoid risk of infection and better patient’s satisfaction
