Abstract:
A Z-osteotomy is a commonly performed procedure to correct mild-moderate hallux valgus. It is an effective procedure with high patient satisfaction rates. However, it is not without its challenges. One of the most frequently encountered issues during a Z-osteotomy is troughing of the first metatarsal. We present a simple surgical technique to correct troughing if it is encountered without the need for additional soft tissue or bony procedures.
