BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of the distal oblique osteotomy in the correction of stage @entity24070 . METHODS: We evaluated 31 @entity1 (32ft.) treated from March 2009 to April 2013 for @entity24070 . The subjective evaluation was based on AOFAS score and self-evaluation of @entity1 satisfaction. Radiographic analysis included: HVA, IMA, first metatarsophalangeal joint space, declination and shortening of first metatarsal. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 39.4  15.5 months (range, 24-73). The mean final AOFAS score was 89.1  6.5 from a preoperative score of 41.5  12 (p<0.001). @entity158 was totally absent in 71.9% of cases and mild occasionally present in 28.1%. The complication rate was of 6.2% (two cases). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that the first metatarsal distal oblique osteotomy is an effective surgical treatment for stage @entity24070 with decrease of daily @entity158 , high @entity1 satisfaction and improved the range of motion.
