Abstract:
The Kalish osteotomy has become a popular method for the correction of mild-to-moderate hallux abducto valgus deformities associated with metatarsus primus adductus. This paper reviews the common pitfalls associated with this procedure, including failure to observe the indications for the procedure, technical failures when performing the procedure, and the most frequent postoperative complications.
