A variable first metatarsal distal "L" osteotomy with adductor tendon transfer.
The authors present a modified approach to addressing hallux abducto valgus. We have found that a combination of an adductor tendon transfer through a distal metaphyseal osteotomy is useful in the elderly patient with a high intermetatarsal angle, who might otherwise require a proximal-type procedure for optimal correction. The results of seven patients who underwent this surgical procedure are presented as a preliminary report.
