First web-space and transarticular approach comparable interventions for hallux valgus .
Comparison of distal soft-tissue procedures combined with a distal chevron osteotomy for moderate to severe hallux valgus: first web-space versus transarticular approach
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2013 Nov 6;95(21):e1581-8130 adult females undergoing distal chevron osteotomy as part of a distal soft-tissue procedure for the treatment of symptomatic unilateral hallux valgus were randomized to compare 2 surgical techniques: the dorsal first web-space approach and the medial transarticular approach.
