METHODS: The aim of this paper is to compare the results of the Weil osteotomy with and without any fixation system. We present a retrospective study of 92 patients (97 feet) who underwent treatment for metatarsalgia between 1999 and 2005. One hundred and six osteotomies were vixed using a screw amd no fixation was used in 92. The mean follow-up was 51.2 and 46.6 months respectively. RESULTS: All the patients were evaluated following the AOFAS LMIS scale, obtaining a mean score of 69.8 points (ranged 15-100) and 75.3 points (from 47 to 100) in each group (P=0.11). CONCLUSIONS: The results of fixed and unfixed Weil osteotomies were not significantly different. Our study could not find a significant relationship between metatarsal shortening and main complications (recurrent metatarsalgia, transfer metatarsalgia and stiffness of the metatarsophalangeal joint).
