We present the results of a prospective trial of osteotomy of the metatarsal neck for hallux valgus in 31 feet of 23 women, using a new stapling device with no plaster splintage and early weight-bearing. Surgery was performed for pain (29 feet) and difficulty with footwear (nine feet). The average time for return to light work was 3.3 weeks, and to full work 8.3 weeks after operation. Seventeen patients had full recovery within three months and 21 of the 23 patients had complete relief of pain. Shoes were more comfortable in 17 feet and 9 patients could wear narrower shoes. Only two patients were unsatisfied with the appearance of the foot. All the osteotomies united, and the average hallux valgus angle was improved on radiographs from 35 degrees to 23 degrees. The mean first metatarsal angle was reduced from 16 degrees to 11 degrees. The new technique allows more accurate surgery and easier postoperative management.
