| Abstract | A relatively new method to treat a bunion deformity by means of positional correction rather than structural realignment via osteotomy has been used in a series of 5 patients. This approach to first ray correction entails the use of an interosseous suture and button device that is positioned under tension between the first and second metatarsals, thereby reducing the first intermetatarsal angle. The median age of the group of patients was 51 years (range, 16-71 years), and the median follow-up duration was 20 months (range, 8-64 months). Statistically significant reductions in the first intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles were observed between the preoperative and immediate postoperative measurements (P = .0006 and P = .0044, respectively) and between the preoperative and long-term postoperative measurements (P = .0189 and P = .0305, respectively), and, although loss of correction was observed between the immediate and long-term postoperative first intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles, these changes were not statistically significant (P = .1369 and P = .1193, respectively). In 3 (60%) of the cases, complications developed that required revisional surgery and removal of the device. In the other 2 (40%) cases, the surgical procedure was modified and satisfactory outcomes were obtained, although minor complications occurred in both. Based on our experience with these patients, the modified surgical procedure shows some effectiveness in treating hallux abductovalgus, although further evaluation of the technique is warranted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
