Summary:Resection arthroplasty was performed in 62 feet, with follow-up at an average of 36 months (range, 17-68 months). All cases were performed using a combined cerclage fibreux. The mean age at operation was 61 years (range, 49-77 years). The mean score according to the hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society was 81 points (range, 25-100 points). Correction of the hallux valgus angle at follow-up averaged 23 degrees (range, 0-45 degrees). The first intermetatarsal angle had been corrected an average of 3 degrees (range, 0-14 degrees). Transfer metatarsalgia was encountered in eight patients. No hallux varus or cock-up deformity was detected.
