✦ Synopsis


The results of a distal chevron (V-)osteotomy in 31 adolescent patients are reported. The distal V-osteotomy of the first metatarsal appeared to provide excellent correction of hallux valgus deformities. The surgical technique and the advantages over other forms of distal osteotomy are described. The authors recommend that distal V-osteotomy be considered as an alternative to other forms of distal osteotomy when treating hallux valgus in adolescents and growing children.
