Proximal Rotational Metatarsal Osteotomy for Treatment of Hallux Valgus: A Technique Guide

Abstract

There is increasing interest in rotational correction of the first metatarsal during hallux valgus correction. This article provides a technique guide for the proximal rotational metatarsal osteotomy technique, which corrects both the intermetatarsal angle and the rotational deformity with a single oblique osteotomy. Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Level V. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
