The long plantar wing distal metaphyseal osteotomy

DH Elleby, LD Barry and DN Helfman

The authors introduce the long plantar wing distal metaphyseal osteotomy of the first metatarsal through a medial plantar approach. This procedure for mild-to-moderate hallux valgus is capable of correcting an increased proximal articular set angle and first intermetatarsal angle concomitantly. The biomechanical, surgical, and clinical rationale for this procedure are discussed.
