- Abstract
Hallux valgus, or a 'bunion', is a deformity characterized by lateral deviation of the big toe. Surgery is indicated when conservative treatments have failed to result in improvement of symptoms. Operative techniques include simple bunionectomy, distal soft tissue procedure, phalangeal osteotomy, metatarsal osteotomy (distal, shaft, or proximal), arthrodesis (metatarsophalangeal or tarsometatarsal), or resection arthroplasty. Good results are expected when the selection of operative technique is based on the correct treatment principle.
