Reverdin –Isham procedure for mild or moderate hallux valgus: clinical and radiographic outcomes

DiscussionPercutaneous correction by Reverdin –Isham and Akin osteotomies seems to be effective in isolated medium-to-moderate hallux valgus. Stiffness observed is comparable to other percutaneous and open procedures but needs to be compared in a randomized controlled clinical trial to extra-articular percutaneous procedures without capsule d etachment in association with an internal fixation which allows an early mobilization.Level of clinical evidenceIV.
