The Hohmann bunionectomy utilizing A-O screw fixation: a preliminary report.

A 14-month retrospective study was performed on 11 patients (15 feet) who had corrective bunion surgery utilizing a modified A-O Hohmann bunionectomy. The study involved radiographic evaluation, range of motion measurements, and a subjective questionnaire. The results of the study suggest that the procedure is very effective in correcting mild to moderate bunion deformities.
