The results of a distal soft tissue procedure and a proximal metatarsal osteotomy in patients with symptomatic hallux valgus deformity were reviewed. The series consisted of 33 patients (47 feet; mean age of patients, 44 years). The average followup period was 48 months. At followup, 41 feet (29 patients, 85%) were free from pain at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. In six feet (four patients), the pain was improved but persisted. The mean hallux valgus angle was 38 degrees before surgery and 13.8 degrees after surgery. The mean intermetatarsal angle was 17.7 degrees before surgery and 7 degrees after surgery. The postoperative hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle in patients who had pain at the first metatarsophalangeal joint after surgery were greater than those in patients without pain after surgery. This procedure corrects the hallux valgus deformity and relieves the symptoms, but careful attention should be paid to the surgical technique to obtain consistent and satisfactory results.
