The Plon - Arnold modified Wilson osteotomy- a minimally invasive osteotomy for the treatment of
hallux valgus

Sheldon H Nadal Clinic, Canada
T
he Plon -Arnold modified Wilson osteotomy is a minimally
invasive V-shaped osteotomy at the first metatarsal neck
made in the sagittal plane with the apex of the V pointed
proximally. The head of the first metatarsal is then displaced
laterally to reduce the intermetatarsal angle and the bunion
deformity. Specialized instrumentation allows the surgeon
to perform the procedure through very small incisions which
results in less soft tissue trauma. Consequently, most patients
will experience less postoperative pain and swelling, will not
require narcotic analgesia, will have a more cosmetically
appealing result, and get back to normal activities quicker
than with traditional surgery. The history of the procedure,
indications, instrumentation, technique and postoperative care
will be discussed and illustrated with pre-and post-operative
radiographs and photographs.
