Abstract |
In cases of hallux valgus tendon transfer combined with wedge osteotomy of metatarsus I yields good results. Considering the experience of 36 operated feet in 25 patients the operation can be recommended especially for young patients. An exact technique helps to avoid complications such as hallux varus and delayed ossification of the osteotomy.
