Abstract
There is currently a shift toward using transverse osteotomies of the metatarsal neck for percutaneous or minimally invasive correction of hallux valgus (HV) deformity due to potential advantages over chevron osteotomies. Minimally invasive HV correction has also become more popular with more studies showing benefits of reduced pain with similar clinical outcomes compared to open techniques. This article reviews the evolution of minimally invasive HV surgery and the benefits of transverse osteotomies for correcting all types of HV deformity.
