    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Podiatric surgery
    • Skeletal deformities

    Background:

    • Hallux abductus is a common foot deformity.
    • Transverse plane deformities can be caused by specific anatomical factors.
    • Surgical intervention is often necessary for correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the Aiken osteotomy as a primary surgical solution.
    • To discuss its efficacy in correcting hallux abductus.
    • To review its long-term success rates.

    Main Methods:

    • The Aiken osteotomy procedure is described.
    • Focus on its application for high distal articular set angles, obliquity, or asymmetry.
    • Both proximal and distal variations are considered.
