About this document
General Considerations: Metatarsals - 1st, Head, Intraarticular T-Type by novalin23 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses surgical treatment options for fractures of the first metatarsal head. It describes the importance of anatomical reduction and alignment. Nondisplaced fractures may be treated nonoperatively with taping, while displaced fractures often require open reduction and internal fixation with screws. Closed reduction with K-wiring can be attempted but open reduction is preferred to directly visualize and anatomically reduce the metatarsal head fragments.
