title: Tricorrectional bunionectomy for correction of high intermetatarsal angles.
abstract: The authors propose the use of the tricorrectional bunionectomy as a viable procedure for correction of high intermetatarsal angles. The tricorrectional bunionectomy was performed on 39 patients (51 feet). All patients had intermetatarsal angles of 16 degrees or greater. The average follow-up period was 12.8 months. The authors believe this procedure is an excellent alternative to more disabling base osteotomies.
