Metatarsus primus varus correction: the osteotomies.

Abstract
Many options exist for surgical correction of hallux valgus and associated metatarsus primus varus deformities. First-ray realignment and stabilization are keys to successful deformity correction. This article presents a brief review of first-metatarsal osteotomies in the correction of hallux valgus or metatarsus primus varus and summarizes arguments for proximal osteotomy with soft tissue balancing.
