Summary

Phalangeal osteotomies may provide an adjunct correction to a hallux valgus deformity, but does not provide deformity correction as a sole procedure. It is an appropriate procedure for intraosseous deformity of the phalanx or increased HIA. It can also be used to assist in esthetic correction of congenital deformity such as macrodactyly.
