A selection of before and after images from patients treated by Mr Stuart Metcalfe. All identifying information has been removed. Individual outcomes vary.
Advanced deformity with the great toe crossing under the second toe. Corrected with a scarf and Akin osteotomy plus second toe realignment — postoperative x-ray shows restored alignment.
Combined first and fifth metatarsal deformity. Corrective osteotomies of both the first and fifth rays restore parallel alignment across the forefoot.
Weight-bearing x-ray before and after scarf/Akin correction with a single screw. Anatomical alignment restored with minimal internal fixation.
Left weight-bearing view shows the preoperative deformity. Right image is the same foot three weeks after surgery — early bony healing already visible.
Preoperative right foot alongside the operated left foot several months post-surgery, showing a straight great toe and a normal forefoot contour.
Standing comparison of the same patient's feet. Post-operative foot (left of image) shows resolution of the bunion prominence and toe alignment.
A three-image sequence: preoperative deformity, intraoperative x-ray showing screw fixation, and the healed foot with a straight great toe.
Preoperative surgical markings alongside the same foot immediately after closure — showing the minimal incisions used for correction.
Preoperative x-ray alongside the immediate post-op view with temporary K-wires holding the corrected position while the osteotomy consolidates.
