Adolescent hallux valgus revisited

Orthopedics. 2014 Aug;37(8):531-5. doi: 10.3928/01477447-20140728-05.

Abstract

Treatment of adolescent hallux valgus with first metatarsal double osteotomy is well described in the literature. Unfortunately, first metatarsal phalangeal joint stiffness and deformity recurrence have been reported at relatively high rates. The authors revisit a technique aimed at preventing these complications.
