- Abstract
There has been significant enhancement in surgical management of hallux valgus deformity. Recognition of the role of medial column hypermobility has resulted in better functional outcomes with decreased risk of recurrence. Modern techniques have evolved to include enhanced fixation in a move toward minimal postoperative downtime. Evolution to include true triplane correction, including frontal plane derotation of the first ray, has resulted in optimal functional outcomes. The addition of anatomic triplane restoration, enhanced internal fixation, and early return to weight-bearing activities are combined resulting in lifelong correction with excellent functional outcomes and a high degree of patient satisfaction., Competing Interests: Disclosure M.D., Dujela DePuy Synthes; T.
