In this episode, Dr. Paolo Ronconi discusses his experience with decompression 1st metatarsal osteotomies as a treatment for chronic hallux limitus/rigidus and other foot deformities. He explains how the procedure works to reduce bone pressure in the area and improve foot mechanics while also providing relief from pain associated with these conditions. The discussion covers preoperative preparation and post-operative care, along with potential complications that can occur during surgery. With an understanding of what his osteotomy is and how it works, you can decide if it's right for your patient's condition. It is a powerful tool that I have been performing since 1996.
