[Avoidable surgical errors in hallux valgus surgery according to Brandes (author's transl)]. 1978

K Kirsch

In postoperative follow-ups in a large number of patients who underwent Hallus valgus surgery according to Brandes, residual pain was found due to insufficient resection of the proximal phalanx. It is pointed out that the results of this frequent and beneficial Hallux valgus surgery can be improved by using a more subtile surgical technique. Figs. 1-5 show that errors continue to be made. If these errors can be avoided in the future this report will have fulfilled its purpose.
