  • Title: Metatarsus primus varus correction: the osteotomies.
    Author: Sorensen MD, Hyer CF.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2009 Jul; 26(3):409-25, Table of Contents. PubMed ID: 19505641.
    Abstract:
    Many options exist for surgical correction of hallux valgus and associated metatarsus primus varus deformities. First-ray realignment and stabilization are keys to successful deformity correction. This article presents a brief review of first-metatarsal osteotomies in the correction of hallux valgus or metatarsus primus varus and summarizes arguments for proximal osteotomy with soft tissue balancing.
