Repositioning of fracture and luxation: Open repositioning of a simple fracture in small bones: By angular stable plate: Metatarsals

One or more of your metatarsal bones were broken and were surgically stabilized using devices.

The foot is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The lower leg is connected to the tarsus. Then comes the metatarsus and then the individual toes. The metatarsus consists of 5 elongated metatarsal bones.

You had an operation to first return the fragments of the affected bones to their normal position and put them back together. Your metatarsal bones were then stabilized using one or more plates.
