Bm. Ribotsky et al., EPIPHYSIODESIS OF THE 1ST METATARSAL WITH CANCELLOUS ALLOGRAFT, Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 83(5), 1993, pp. 263-266
The authors describe a technique for an isolated epiphysiodesis of the
first metatarsal with a cancellous allograft for the correction of ju
venile hallux abducto valgus deformity. The procedure requires no inci
sion. It is a benign, safe, and effective way of correcting the deform
ity.
