Abstract
The Stone bunionectomy is an oblique resection of the metatarsal head designed to preserve the weight-bearing margin of the metatarsal shaft. In 132 patients treated by the Stone operation, only 77 per cent were satisfied with the overall results and 19 per cent had persistent pain. In addition, only 69 per cent were considered by the authors to have had an excellent result. These results do not compare favorably with those reported for the Keller procedure. Consequently, the Stone bunionectomy is not recommended.Keywords
