PREOPERATIVE IMAGING

Three weight-bearing radiographic views of the foot are obtained: AP, lateral, and oblique. The radiograph tube is centered over the tarsometatarsal joint and angled 15° toward the ankle joint, with a 1-m separation between the radiograph tube and the radiograph. The hallux valgus angle (Figure 4, A), first-second intermetatarsal angle (Figure 4, B), distal metatarsal articular angle (Figure 4, C), and first metatarsophalangeal joint congruency (Figure 5) are measured and noted.
