Abstract
A prospective study of the Keller procedure for hallux valgus was carried out on 44 female patients (75 feet) with an average age of 66 years. The average follow-up was 31 months (range, 12–64 months). The operation was effective in improving symptoms (joint pain and bunion tenderness), cosmesis, function (footwear and level of activity) and in decreasing the deformity. The operation did not have an influence on metatarsal calluses. Cock-up deformity was common postoperatively but did not affect the results. The overall patient satisfaction rate was 77%.Keywords
