Hohmann-Thomasen metatarsal osteotomy for tailor's bunion (bunionette)

MS Steinke and KL Boll
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Holstebro Hospital, Denmark.

We used subcapital displacement osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal bone and peg-and-hole fixation to treat a tailor's bunion (bunionette) in forty-four feet (twenty-seven patients). The result was good in 86 per cent, fair in 9 per cent, and poor in 5 per cent. All but one of the patients were satisfied with the result. The average medial displacement of the head of the fifth metatarsal was five millimeters. In all feet, secure union was noted in five weeks, and no patient had osteonecrosis of the head of the fifth metatarsal.
