There have been many publications referring to the various methods of operation for the treatment of pressure metatarsalgia. Among those methods, Helal's metatarsal osteotomy is an operation with a simple technique which can be applied easily and it has the merit of obtaining an adequate telescoping effect on weight bearing easily.We perfomed the Helal metatarsal osteotomy operation on five patients who had symptoms of a clawing toe after trauma, which had developed into pressure metatarsalgia.At final review, we noticed in the X-rays that three patients still had a slight degree of clawing deformity and one patient had a non-union. Nevertheless, the symptom of pressure metatarsalgia was nearly removed from all the patients.Helal's metatarsal osteotomy is simple in technique and an effective treatment for pressure metatarsalgia.
