About Metatarsal Osteotomy
A metatarsal osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat a foot deformity. This surgery involves cutting the metatarsal bone of the big toe and realigning the bone to correct the deformity. Recovery takes one to two months, depending on the type of deformity being corrected and the type of surgery used to correct it. Most people can walk normally after the foot has healed.
