Minimally Invasive Technique for Hallux Valgus Correction

The evolution of minimally invasive surgery has led to techniques that can achieve comparable results to that of traditional open methods of surgery. For hallux valgus correction of the foot, several studies have demonstrated the equivalency between open procedures and current minimally invasive procedures in terms of stability and final outcomes. The authors present a detailed technique for minimally invasive hallux valgus correction. Early clinical and radiographic outcomes are reported, including a comparison of chevron and transverse osteotomies. Level of Evidence : Diagnostic level IV, case series. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
