title: The Gibson and Piggott osteotomy for adult hallux valgus.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The Gibson and Piggott procedure for hallux valgus is based on sound surgical principles addressing the basic pathologies of this disorder. However, this procedure has not been studied extensively in the literature in comparison to the Mitchell and Chevron osteotomies.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a prospective study conducted on 50 adult feet with hallux valgus. The Gibson and Piggot osteotomy was done on all the feet.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We obtained 76% excellent and 18% good results with this procedure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results bear out the fact that this procedure is a useful procedure for the management of this disorder.
