Axial wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal head (an adjunctive procedure for correction of hallux abducto valgus).
The authors have introduced an adjunctive procedure for correction of the osseous axial eversion of the first ray with hallux abducto valgus deformity. They believe that recurrence of bunion deformity is reduced with correction of this osseous abnormality. Consecutive illustrations are presented with recognition of the individual surgeon's ability to modify the procedure to allow for correction of deformities associated with hallux abducto valgus.
