Correction of hallux valgus with metatarsocuneiform stabilization.

Foot & Ankle 1990 October
51 feet in 30 patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically an average of 27.6 months after undergoing a modified McBride bunionectomy with a metatarsocuneiform stabilization. An inlay block of bone was used after achieving corrected position of the first metatarsal. The retrospective review included an anteroposterior x-ray, in which definite trabecular bridging was present in only 25.5% of the cases. The metatarsocuneiform joint was asymptomatic regardless of its x-ray appearance. The average intermetatarsal angle was reduced from 14.6 degrees to 8.7 degrees. This procedure attempts to restore near-normal anatomy, thereby preventing transfer metatarsalgia from shortening or elevation of the first metatarsal. Acceptable correction is possible in both moderate and severe deformities.
