    Author: Goforth WP, Martin JE.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 1993; 32(1):69-74. PubMed ID: 8318964.
    Abstract:
    The authors present an 18-month follow-up of the Austin bunionectomy using a single 2.7-mm. American Society of Internal Fixation (ASIF) (Zimmer Corporation, Warsaw, IN) screw. Fifty-six feet in 41 patients were evaluated with data from clinical examination, radiographic data, and responses to a patient questionnaire. Early return to shoes, excellent range of motion, and 96% patient satisfaction were noted. Good reduction of the intermetatarsal and the hallux valgus angles were observed, and no aseptic necrosis was noted in the series.
