  • Title: Plaster support after Wilson's osteotomy for hallux valgus.
    Author: Ramanathan EB, Heywood-Waddington MB.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1988 May; 70(3):412-4. PubMed ID: 3372562.
    Abstract:
    In a five-year period, 153 feet in 101 patients were treated by a Wilson's osteotomy of the first metatarsal for hallux valgus. Postoperative support was provided by either a below-knee or a forefoot plaster, and was continued for either three weeks or six weeks. The results showed overall success in 91% with no significant difference between the four groups. We suggest that a forefoot plaster for three weeks is adequate support after a Wilson's osteotomy.
