Results: The intermetatarsal angle, hallux valgus angle and distal metatarsal articular angle were corrected. Clinically there was an improvement of the deformity and absence of pain. All patients were satisfied with the outcome. Conclusion: The procedure described is one more possibility for the treatment of mild and moderate hallux valgus. lt is a simple technique and almost painless.
