Abstract

Abstract : While correction of hallux valgus deformities has been a subject of interest in the medical literature for over 2 centuries, the major contributions and published evidence has occurred over the last 75 years. Mc Bride, Keller, Mitchell, Mann, and Lapidus are names which reference techniques but they also present principles of treatment that establish the basis for current bunion surgery. Many components of these methods are used today and incorporated into modern bunion surgery. Level of Evidence : Diagnostic Level V. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
