Abstract

The preliminary results of the surgical treatment of hallux valgus using subcapitate chevron-type osteotomy of the 1st metatarsal modified using a dynamic interfragmentary device are reported. The method satisfies the need to restore angular metatarsophalangeal and intermetatarsal values and improves metatarsal pain caused by hallux valgus correction, which influences the cosmetic results.
