Brachymetatarsia for me


by: exfix done on Fri, Mar 07 2008

I have the condition on my left foot, fourth metatarsal. I had the external fixator surgery on Jan 28,2008 and have been turning the fixator now for 4 weeks. It is pretty painful, but I am so excited to know that I will have a “normal” toe after all this is over. Anyone else had this operation? I was wondering about the timeframe others have had as far as start to finish with the process and how many millimeters they lengthened ,etc.
