Abstract

Hallux valgus deformity has been slowly getting popular in Korea. Many surgical procedures are available for treating the hallux valgus, but it is still controversial for the best treatment. We operated 25 feet(15 patients) of hallux valgus between May. 88 and December. 94. The clinical results were as follow ; 1. Age distribution was 25 to 82, and all female. 10 patients have bilateral hallux valgus. 2. 19 feet were treated by soft tissue procedures only and 6 feet by combined soft tissue and bony procedures. 3. Bunion deformity was recurred in 2 feet (1 Patient) which were treated with modified McBride Method. 4. Lateral sesamoidectomies were performed in 7 feet without development of hallux varus. 5. The cosmetic and functional results were good in 6 cases treated by proximal metatarsal osteotomy. 6. 9 feet had other digits deformities, which need surgical correction. 7. Tightening repair of medial capsule seems to be important for prevention of recurrence of bunion.
