Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Hallux limitus is a common foot deformity.
  • Several surgical techniques exist for its correction.
  • Metatarsus primus elevatus can be a contributing factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new modification of the Youngswick procedure for hallux limitus.
  • To present an alternative surgical option for specific cases of hallux limitus.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a modified Youngswick surgical technique.
  • Discussion of alternative hallux limitus correction procedures.

Main Results:

  • The modified Youngswick procedure provides a new surgical approach.
  • This technique is indicated for hallux limitus secondary to metatarsus primus elevatus when first metatarsal shortening is not preferred.
