READ MORE Planning tool for first metatarsal length in hallux valgus surgery The Foot The precise planning of metatarsal (MT) I length in hallux valgus surgery is important. However, currently no tool exists which allows the surgeon to reliably predict this parameter. 30 virtual 3-dimensional hallux valgus surgeries were performed on varied deformation models based on cadaveric feet scans. The shortening of the first ray during distal metatarsal I osteotomy for different osteotomy angles were measured.
