Hallux valgus treated by modified McBride procedure. A, Preoperative deformity in 30-year-old patient. B, Correction obtained at surgery. C, Preoperative and postoperative radiographs (note fibular sesamoid was not removed). More deformity can be corrected by fibular sesamoidectomy, but overcorrection (hallux varus) is a risk. If fibular sesamoid is excised, medial capsule should be closed while holding hallux in 5 to 10 degrees valgus and kept in that position until capsular healing.
