Impact of first metatarasal bone shortening on forefoot loading. a: Changes in forefoot plantar pressure distribution in response to first metatarsal shortening. As is shown in the figure, with the shortening level increasing, the pressure of the lateral rays continued to rise b: Comparison of contact pressure of each area with intact metatarsal bone and with metatarsal shortened by different lengths
