Minimal incision approach to osteotomy of the hallux
Abstract
Minimal incision approach to osteotomy of the hallux results in less trauma and eliminates the need for internal fixation. The surgeon must completely understand the instruments used and always be aware of the axes of motion in which the instrument is used.
