Chin Med Sci J. 1995 Jun;10(2):105-8.

Abstract

72 feet with hallux valgus among 40 patients treated by reconstruction of metatarsal arch and modified McBride operation are reported in this paper. After an average of 4.5 years of postoperative follow-up, the results showed an overall 9 degrees and 3 degrees correction of the hallux abductus angle and the intermetatarsal angle, respectively. 95% of the cases of bunions disappeared, 66% calli under the heads of the first and second metatarsal disappeared, and 91% patients were satisfied with the changes of their feet appearance.
