We compared the chevron and the Wilson metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus in a prospective randomised trial on 87 feet in 51 patients, reviewed at averages of 5.5 and 38 months after operation. The patients in the chevron group returned to work earlier and mobilised faster, but, at the later review, those in the Wilson group had better functional results and were more satisfied with the appearance of the foot. Correction of the hallux valgus angle was better maintained in patients in the Wilson group and they had a better range of motion at the metatarsophalangeal joint; fewer complained of metatarsalgia.
