Intraosseous Sliding Plate Fixation Used in Double Osteotomy Bunionectomy.

Background:: Distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy bunionectomy is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus. We continue to use the intraosseous sliding osteotomy plate system for fixation of the distal metatarsal osteotomy. With the addition of the Akin osteotomy, we are able to obtain reliable, reproducible correction with better cosmesis and increased patient satisfaction for more advanced deformities.

Evaluation of an Innovative Fixation System for Chevron Bunionectomy.

Background: Distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy bunionectomy is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity. There are several different methods to stabilize this osteotomy. We evaluated a new intramedullary plate system.
