Biomechanical Investigation of Hallux Valgus Deformity Treated with Different Osteotomy Methods and Kirschner Wire Fixation Strategies Using the Finite Element Method

The aim of this study was to propose a finite element method based numerical approach for evaluating various hallux valgus treatment strategies. We developed three-dimensional hallux valgus deformity models, with different metatarsal osteotomy methods and Kirschner wire fixation strategies, under tw...
