Novel Techniques for Acute Lengthening of Metatarsal for Treatment of Brachymetatarsia with 2cm and More Shortening

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Ali Reza Qasrobadi discusses a novel technique for the treatment of brachial metatarsal using acute lengthening of the metatarsal. He presents his credentials and states that he usually gives an hour-long talk, but due to time constraints, he will speak quickly. He explains his experience with 630 cases using bone graft and 98 cases using the new technique. He introduces his own technique called the GENIUS procedure, which stands for grafting, extensor tendon lengthening, neutralizing the impedium, and internal fixation utilization of the spacer. He discusses the demographics and symptoms of brachial metatarsia and the goals of surgery. He shares examples of x-rays and deformities, as well as surgical options including acute and gradual lengthening. He discusses the complications and challenges of these techniques. He provides a detailed explanation of his surgical approach, including incision, tendon release, joint spacer creation, external fixation, bone insertion, and closure. He presents before and after photos of patients who underwent the surgery and discusses the post-operative protocol. He concludes by offering assistance for any questions. No credits were granted.
