The first patient (hand no. 1) in the series had a MTP joint transfer in 1987 at the age of 5 years. His only distraction procedure was done at the age of 10 years with a “joint transport.” The metatarsal bone was fixed 40 mm more distally. The situation in the radiograph, 20 years postoperatively, shows that the MTP joint still has a good configuration although a bone cyst is visible at the metatarsal head.
