Treatment of bunionette deformity with longitudinal diaphyseal osteotomy with distal soft tissue repair

M J Coughlin. Foot Ankle. 1991 Feb.

Abstract

Twenty patients (30 feet) with symptomatic bunionettes refractory to conservative care underwent longitudinal diaphyseal osteotomy, lateral condylectomy, and distal metatarsophalangeal realignment. At an average of 31 months followup, 93% (28 feet) noted good or excellent results. This technique was found to be useful and predictable in correcting the bunionette deformity.
