INTRODUCTION

Percutaneous surgery is an increasingly accepted technic for the treatment of Hallux valgus but it has some limitations when the intermetatarsal angle ismoderate to severe, having high risk of recurrence.

The mini tight-rope used as a complement for precutaneous surgery avoids complications of open surgery osteotomies (delays consolidation, pain, screws protusion, infection) and it allows us continue with the recurrent trend towards minimal invasive surgery.

MATERIAL AND METHOD

Between 2007 and 2009, 60 patients with severe Hallux valgus were treated in our Hospital using the percutaneous mini tight-rope. The mean age of patients was 62, 5 patients were man and 55 were woman. The mean follow-up was 18 months.
