Anyone here had fore foot overload due to the shortening of the metatarsal during the osteotomy?
If so has anyone had revision surgery to correct this?
Hi Steve, I am at the eight-and-a-half week point after scarf and akin osteotomies on my right foot. Sorry, I can't help you. I am just posting to say I'd be very interested in what you find out as I was warned about forefoot overload! I was previously a runner but had had to convert to cycling as a result of the foot, recently specifically problems with the 2nd and 3rd toes. I am 44 and hoping to get back to running. So far, I've only jogged a couple of hundred metres on grass so as hopefully not to overdo it. My cycling is going well though.
Hi Steve,
I am not sure what you mean by forefoot overload, can you explain this more?
I had metatarsal osteotomy and pip fusion 2nd toe.
Fore foot overload I believe is when to much bone is resected from the metatarsal and your weight is not distributed correctly across the fore foot placing stresses on other joints and soft tissues.
