The modified Hohmann bunionectomy: a retrospective review.
A retrospective review of 35 modified Hohmann bunionectomies is presented with analysis of objective radiographic and subjective patient questionnaire results. Thirty-five modified Hohmann bunionectomies were performed, on 29 patients over a 6-year period with follow-up ranging from 11 months to 5 years and 11 months. The modification involves resection of a triangular wedge from the first metatarsal, to minimize shortening, and utilizes two points of fixation. In total, 88% of those patients responding to our questionnaire had either excellent or good results. The Hohmann bunionectomy is a valuable procedure in alleviating symptoms caused by hallux abductovalgus.
