Abstract
Freiberg's infraction is a rare disorder of the lesser metatarsals that typically occurs in adolescent females. Many surgical procedures have been employed to treat this condition and have met with varying degrees of success. The authors describe the use of an external fixation device for distraction of the joint in combination with transplantation of an autogenous osteochondral graft for a 15-year-old female with Freiberg's infraction. Level of Clinical Evidence: 4
