Weil Osteotomy

A Weil Osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to correct forefoot pain and toe alignment by shortening and realigning the metatarsal bone. It is performed to reduce pressure under the forefoot, improve joint mechanics, and support a more comfortable and functional walking pattern. In addition to wearing your post operative footwear for the next 3 weeks, we also require you to begin rehabilitation. Rehabilitation will promote a fast recovery, prevent deficits in walking and strength, and decrease stiffness during the early post operative phase. Please see the key exercises we need you to perform below. Refer to the handout for specific repetitions and sets per day.
