Supination stress of the great toe for assessing intraoperative correction of hallux valgus

摘要

We have devised a new intraoperative technique (supination stress of the great toe) in which correction of hallux valgus and metatarsus primus varus, and reduction of the sesamoids could be simultaneously obtained at hallux valgus surgery. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the efficacy of supination stress for assessing intraoperative correction of hallux valgus.
