A new method of permanent internal fixation is described with a discussion of applicability to the Austin procedure for the surgical correction of hallux abducto valgus deformity. The contention of this article is that an easily performed wire fixation method provides superior stabilization of the Austin osteotomy site. Preliminary investigation of this method shows consistently fewer complications secondary to instability of the Austin osteotomy, with union of the osseous fragments proceeding more rapidly as compared to nonfixated osteotomies.
