Background. The aim of the present article was to report our experience with the treatment ofpatients with hallux valgus and to perform comparative analysis of the results of the newly proposed and standard methods for its surgical correction. Methods. The data on 70patients (101 feet) with hallux valgus that were operated on between 2011 and 2015 in St. Petersburg Hospital No 2 using the new and standard methods were analysed. The functional assessment (AOFAS score) and X-ray examination were performed preoperatively, 3 and 12 months after the procedure. Comparative analysis between patients undergoing surgical correction by the new and standard methods has been undertaken. Results. We did not find any significant difference between the two groups in mean AOFAS score 12 months after surgery. Nevertheless, the function score of the patients treated by the newly proposed method (79.4±6.5 in 3 months) was significantly better than in those given the standard treatment (72.2±7.6 in 3 months). Mean intermetatarsal angle 12 months after surgery by standard and new methods was 9,7±0,7° and 8,6±0,7° (p<0.05), mean metatarsophalangeal angle 13,6±0,9° and 13,0±1,1° (p<0,05) respectively. Conclusion. According to the data obtained, the original method of hallux valgus surgical correction allows to improve its functional and x-ray results.
