  • Hallux abducto valgus surgery is in a constant state of evolution. Innovation is driven by surgeons pursuing the perfect procedure for any clinical scenario. The end point is to eliminate complications and produce satisfied patients. Medical device technology has helped pave the way for some recent advances in bunion surgery. The use of opening base wedge plates, locking plates for the Lapidus fusion, suture endobuttons, and staples for the Akin procedure are the focus in this review of modern techniques.
