First metatarsophalangeal joint arthritis can stem from a biomechanical imbalance as in hallux abducto valgus, metabolic arthritidies such as rheumatoid or gout, and even in posttraumatic cases. Advanced arthritis in the foot and ankle can often become debilitating. Surgical intervention is often necessary. Revision of failed first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty is often in the setting of bony erosion and lysis, cystic changes, and loss of bone stock. In this article, we describe first metatarsophalangeal distraction arthrodesis technique using tricortical calcaneus autograft with the aim of simplifying donor site graft harvesting and decreasing donor site morbidity while attaining successful osseous union. Levels of Evidence: Level V

Hallux valgus is characterized by the appearance and growth of a painful “lump” in the region of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the development of forefoot corns, and inability to choose the right shoes, which leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Corrective osteotomies that preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint, for example Austin (Chevron) osteotomy, are usually used for hallux valgus deformity of the I, II degrees. Radiography with the study of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is a research method that shows the true correlation between bone structures. The correlation between the radiological and functional indicators of osteotomy allows us to determine possible recommendations for indications for surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Correlation shows that the largest correction of hallux valgus in older patients occurs due to a small adjustment of the angle of DMMA and HVA. IMA had the best correction after Austin osteotomy among patients of a younger age, then the HVA, and the DMMA had minimum correction according to the AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka). The revealed correlations allow us to determine the correct tactics for the treatment of hallux valgus by identifying the benefits of Austin osteotomy.
