A cylindrical autogenous diaphyseal bone graft from the neighboring second and fifth metatarsals to correct brachymetatarsia of the third and fourth metatarsals was last described by Biggs in 1979. The authors present a literature review and case report for the treatment of the rare clinical entity of brachymetatarsia.

Brachymetatarsia is a congenital osseous and soft tissue deformity of a ray(s) of the foot. Because there is no particular consensus of methodology of lengthening for brachymetatarsia, the authors introduce a comprehensive anatomic classification and a surgical guide to treatment of each classification type. This classification combines the number of the metatarsal(s) affected and the letter(s) indicating the type of brachymetatarsia deformity (A = axial deficiency of the metatarsal, B = bowing of the metatarsal, C = congruency of metatarsal phalangeal joint).

Objective: Here we present the first known examples of brachydactyly from an Andean archaeological context by describing the affected bones, presenting a differential diagnosis, and discussing the cultural implications of there being shortened metapodials in multiple tombs.
Materials: 3232 well-preserved tubular bones representing an MNI of 250 human adults.
Methods: Each bone was visually inspected.
Hallux Valgus With Second Brachymetatarsia Discovered Accidentally: A Case Report.

Hallux valgus deformity is one of the most common foot and ankle diseases, while brachymetatarsia is a rare foot anomaly with pathological shortening of a metatarsal bone. We present a case of hallux valgus deformity possibly due to second brachymetatarsia. As the hallux valgus was associated with dorsal dislocation of the second toe that made it difficult to evaluate the length of the second toe, the patient was unaware of the second metatarsal shortening until the lengths of the toes compared by manual reposition of the second MTP joint.
