This paper presents a retrospective study of 20 patients operated on from January to December, 2001 because they presented with hallux valgus and metatarsus primus varus, foot deformities characterized by angulation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint towards the midline of the body resulting from the increased value of metatarsophalangeal angle of the great toe and an increased value of the first intermetatarsal angle respectively.
