A modification of the Regnauld procedure for hallux limitus.

Surgical correction of hallux limitus can be challenging to the foot surgeon. The procedures available to date are numerous. Satisfactory results require proper candidate selection, and other procedures must be weighted carefully. The Regnauld procedure has become an accepted technique in this extensive surgical armamentarium. This manuscript describes a means of fixation that eliminates many of the complications associated with the original nonfixed technique, and allows for early range of motion to be initiated.
