abstract: The results of treatment of 74 patients (109 feet), in whom a standard correcting osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone was done ( a control group) and of 34 patients (58 feet), in whom correcting osteotomy was performed in accordance to the improved procedure (the main group), were analyzed. The data of clinic-radiological investigations, estimation in accordance to the AOFAS scale, the pain syndrome severity in accordance to visual-analogue scale have constituted the criteria of estimation.
