Department of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

The records of 52 patients who underwent metatarsal osteotomies for the treatment of chronic neuropathic ulcerations between the years 1983 and 1985 were analyzed in a retrospective study. Long-term follow-up information was available for all but three patients. All patients were conservatively managed preoperatively and postoperatively with shoes, accommodative orthoses, and local care. A limb salvage rate of 94%, 46 of 49 patients, was achieved in this study. Although 13 patients developed transfer ulcerations, all but one were managed either with conservative care or a lesser podiatric procedure, and all remain healed to date.
