"dorsolateral aspect of 5th metatarsophalangeal jt, incision deepened through subcutaneous tissue. Capsular layer identified and linear capsulotomy was performed. Capsule was dissected off the 5th metatarsal head. Hypertropied bone was rasped smooth using power instrumentation. Osteotomy was distracted and shifted dorsally 3mm and medially 3mm. Osteotomy was carefully fixated using K-wire driven from proximal/lateral to distal/medial. The osteotomy was stable, therefore the overhanging edge of the osteotomy was resected and entire lateral head was rasped smooth...."
