Several techniques are available for the correction of hallux abducto valgus, but none of them provide a direct and mechanically sound attachment to the lateral aspect of the first metatarsal head. The author describes adductor hallucis tendon ligamentation, a technique that produces direct stability between the first and second metatarsals. This stability is achieved by transferring the adductor hallucis tendon. The tendon is attached to the distal aspects of the first and second metatarsals. Adductor hallucis tendon ligamentation is a dependable option in the correction of hallux abducto valgus, providing an excellent outcome with good long-term results.
The authors describe a previously unreported adjunctive passive provocative maneuver that has been found to clinically reproduce the intensity of symptoms in patients diagnosed with disorders of the sesamoids. This test is useful for the initial diagnosis as well as monitoring response to treatment.
Surgery of ingrowing toe nails are one of the most frequent operations in ambulatory practice. It is well known that a minor operation which relieves the patient of his complaints is appreciated more than the most complicated operation. Based on the article of Dr. Krticka we wish to present our own modification of an operation called Klapp's operation. We found that the results when using a modified vertical U stitch are better than when the classical technique is applied.
