Orthopedic Case 2

Post-operatively the appearance of the hallux valgus corrected such that in it now measures 19 degrees with an intermetatarsal angle of 15 degrees. However, due to the fact that there is such a large hallux valgus deformity originally the attempted correction was too great, this resulted in avascular necrosis of the head with a nonunion.
