Abstract

The Weil osteotomy is a common technique used in the treatment of lesser metatarsal deformities of the forefoot. In the last years a large amount of papers have been published showing its effectiveness and the complication rates of the Weil-type osteotomy. Although most of studies have shown an effectiveness in pain reduction close to 80-90%, complication rates are also relatively large in some reports. The present paper is intended to review clinical, radiological and cadaveric studies of the Weil osteotomy in an attempt to make a comprehensive review for the reader regarding all aspects of this common used technique.
