Abstract
Successful deformity correction utilizing first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) fusion for hallux valgus with concomitant degenerative changes of the first MTP joint is well documented. Currently, there is limited discussion in the literature focusing on triplanar correction of the first MTP arthrodesis. Presented is a novel approach for triplane correction and fusion of the first MTP joint utilizing a biplanar locked plating system.
