Transosseous capsuloplasty improves the outcomes of Lindgren–Turan distal metatarsal osteotomy in moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity

Introduction Lindgren–Turan osteotomy used in hallux valgus deformity is a subcapital, transverse displacement osteotomy of the first metatarsal without any additional capsular repair. The aims of this study are to describe a transosseous capsuloplasty technique in this procedure and evaluate whether capsuloplasty would improve the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity.
