Abstract

The Mitchell distal metatarsal stepcut osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus is a technically demanding procedure with a high complication rate. Reported complications include metatarsal shortening with lateral metatarsalgia, partial avascular necrosis of the distal fragment, and loss of position with incomplete correction. Nonunion, however, has only rarely been reported. We describe our experience with the treatment of three nonunions of Mitchell osteotomies reconstructed using a tricortical iliac crest bone graft.
