The authors propose the use of the tricorrectional bunionectomy as a viable procedure for correction of high intermetatarsal angles. The tricorrectional bunionectomy was performed on 39 patients (51 feet). All patients had intermetatarsal angles of 16 degrees or greater. The average follow-up period was 12.8 months. The authors believe this procedure is an excellent alternative to more disabling base osteotomies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
