The Authors report the results of 120 hallux valgus operated on 76 patients from January 1983 to June 1988. The operative procedure associated bunionectomy, tenotomy of the abductor hallucis which was resected from the base of the first phalanx and from the lateral sesamoid, shortening osteotomy of the proximal phalanx and finally adjustment of the sesamoids under the head of the first metatarsal. When there was an important metatarsus varus, a basilar osteotomy of the first metatarsal was associated (10 cases about 120). The results were appreciated functionally (pain, range of motion, easiness for putting on one's shoes) and anatomically (radiological correction of the deformity). The total result included anatomical and functional results. Anatomically, 110 feet had sesamoids perfectly adjusted (that is 92.5 per cent), 9 had an inadequate adjustment (first degree). The metatarsus varus was always improved except 3 cases; in these cases a basilar metatarsal osteotomy would have to be performed. The valgus of the big toe was corrected in 88 per cent of the cases (104 feet had a valgus lower than 15 degrees). A varus of the big toe was found in 6 cases (5 per cent). One was lower than 5 degrees; it was nevertheless included with the good results (very well endured). 5 were more than 10 degrees and were included with the poor results. Finally, we took notice of 4 degenerative changes of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint. The total results found 90 per cent of good and very good results, 6 per cent of fair results and 4 per cent of poor results.
