  • Title: Metatarsus Primus Varus Correction.
    Author: Sorensen MD, Gradisek B, Cottom JM.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2015 Jul; 32(3):355-74. PubMed ID: 26117572.
    Abstract:
    We present a discussion on the use of proximal first-ray osteotomies in the surgical treatment for hallux valgus as a valid option compared with first-tarsometatarsal arthrodesis. Recent and historical literature tells us that stability of the first ray is a function of the alignment and reestablishment of retrograde stabilizing forces at the first tarsometatarsal joint. This realignment and stabilization may be accomplished with the use of distal soft tissue and proximal osteotomy procedures.
