The Mitchell distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus

The Mitchell distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus

M K Glynn et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1980 May.

Abstract

Seventy-two Mitchell distal metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus performed over a period of 10 years have been reviewed. Sixty-six (92 per cent) were graded as excellent or good. Retrospective radiographic analysis of 29 of these cases showed that the operation had reduced the intermetatarsal angles to within normal anatomical limits. No patient experienced a worsening of symptoms as a result of the operation.
