The Basics of Osteotomy

A keller resection orthoplasty includes medial eminence removal and resection of the base of the proximal phalanx. This has largely been abandoned due to complications. A first Kuneiform osteotomy is an opening wedge osteotomy that often requires an autograph. It is indicated for children with ligamentous laxity, flat feet, and a hypermobile first ray.
