Abstract
Distal or diaphyseal osteotomies are able to correct mild or moderate hallux valgus, whereas proximal metatarsal osteotomy may address more important deformities. Technically a lateral closing wedge is performed and a superomedial hinge preserved in order to provide stability and try to avoid a metatarsus elevatus displacement. As this risk is high, a fixation is recommended. With the proximal closing wedge, the DMAA is likely to increase. For this reason some surgeons choose to add a distal osteotomy.
