The Wilson bunion procedure modified for improved clinical results.
The Wilson procedure for correction of hallux abducto valgus is modified for use in three specific clinical conditions. The modifications are outlined and demonstrated in the preoperative conditions of 1) juvenile hallux abducto valgus, 2) functional hallux limitus, and 3) postoperative metatarsus primus elevatus. The rationale and biomechanical considerations for the modified Wilson bunion procedure are discussed.
