title: [The Akin-New method for surgery of hallux valgus. 1-year results of a covered surgical method].
abstract: A new technique of operation on hallux valgus according to the method of Akin (1925) was introduced to us by Dr. Theodore O. New in 1983. From small skin incisions the removal of the bunion and a corrective osteotomy of the phalanx are accomplished. The results of the operation in 72 out of a total of 77 operated feet one year after operation are reviewed. By the patients 40 (55%) of the results were judged as excellent (A), 23 (32%) as good (B) and 9 (13%) as not satisfying (C). The results of objective assessment were less favorable. 11 (15%) excellent (A) and 34 (48%) good (B) were opposed by 27 (37%) non satisfying results. These are attributed to the stringent rules of judgment and the lack of experience in suitable indications. Saving the metatarsophalangeal joint, minimal postoperative pain and early rehabilitation are advantages of this technique.
