Abstract
The concept of a congruent and incongruent joint will be introduced and the results of various distal osteotomies will be presented. The differential diagnosis of pain around the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint will also be discussed.
Although not exclusively a complication of distal osteotomies, the correction of acquired hallux varus will also be presented.
