Abstract

Callotasis has been widely used to treat brachymetatarsia. But various complications have been reported. Avascular necrosis of the 4th brachymetatarsia treated by callotasis has not been frequently addressed in the literature. We report 1 cases of avascular necrosis of the 4th brachymetatarsia treated by callotasis with a review of the literature.
