METHOD FOR TREATING VALGUS DEFORMATION OF GREAT TOE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine, surgery, traumatology.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating motor system diseases, particularly, to the methods of treating plantar deformations. Due to arch-shaped incision above exostosis of the 1^st metatarsal caput one should lance articular capsule to cut a triangular fragment, remove exostosis of distal caput of the 1^st metatarsal bone, apply Dacron ligature around the 1^st metatarsal bone, the upper part of Dacron ligature should be thrown over metatarso-phalangeal articulation and with he help of special needle it is necessary to apply it around the main phalanx of great toe, after that, great toe should be fixed in position of varus hypercorrection, a knot should be formed and ligature should be tightened up, as for triangular fragment of articular capsule it should be sutured with Dacron sutures due to fulfilling additional fixation of great toe. The present innovation provides decreased traumatism, shortened time for operation and, also, enables to exclude the necessity for developing canals in the main phalanx of great toe and the 1^st metatarsal bone.
