Third Generation Rotational Percutaneous Osteotomy to Hallux Valgus

Abstract

Hallux valgus (HV) is now recognized as a triplane deformity with pronation being a very important factor to be addressed. This article describes a modified third generation rotational percutaneous osteotomy for correction of HV. A guide is described and used in this technique to help surgeons correct pronation with accuracy and reproducibility. This technique allows, through a percutaneous approach, a triplane correction of the HV deformity. Level of Evidence: Diagnostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
