title: [Results of the Du Vries hallux valgus operation].
abstract: 32 patients with Hallux valgus were treated at 58 feet with Du Vries surgical method. The functional and subjective results after a mean observation period of 4.8 years ranged from good to very good on 17 from 23 examinated patients. However, the corrected position of the intoe was found only at an average of 5 degrees. This is due to postoperative correction loss. Only in young patients with a valgus position below 35 degrees and without signs of arthrosis deformans in the valgus joint this purely soft-tissue operation is indicated.
