Had Brachymetatarsia Surgery, Told Not To Turn External Fixator Any Longer. Feel That Results Are Not Good
I had brachymetatarsia surgery 7 weeks ago. My Dr. Advised me that at my next visit I will not be required to turn my external fixator any longer. My toe still does not look like it has moved much. I am so afraid that I am going through all this pain without good results. Please help! I forgot to add that the fixator looks like it has been turned all it can go.

The amount of lengthening of the metatarsal bone that you get from this type of surgery is often very small in the region of under 1cm.
