We modified Hohmann's (1923) osteotomy for hallux valgus by internal fixation of the metatarsal head with no need for a plaster cast. Five (2–10) years post-operatively, all 20 patients (32 feet) had complete relief and all but one was satisfied with the cosmetic result. However, we now routinely add osteotomies of the second and third metatarsal neck to prevent, albeit asymptomatic, callosities.Downloads
