Abstract
The article reports on research conducted to perform a retrospective review of a nonosteotomy technique for the reduction of the intermetatarsal angle in hallux valgus surgery using a modified nonabsorbable suture-button implant. Researchers evaluated 25 patients and 25 feet. They found that while suture-button fixation in hallux valgus achieved a satisfactory result it was also associated with a high rate of second metatarsal stress fractures.
