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.
