Modification of the Kalish osteotomy to correct the proximal articular set angle.
A preliminary report of a new bunion procedure is described. This new procedure provides a relative reduction of the intermetatarsal angle and corrects the proximal articular set angle, yet incorporates the principles of compressive rigid internal fixation. The procedure is best summarized as a combination of the Kalish modification of the Austin bunionectomy and the Green-Laird modification of the Reverdin bunionectomy.
