Abstract:
The 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.
