Intraoperative events and postoperative complications in the three groups

	40° ≤ HVA < 50°	50° ≤ HVA < 60°	HVA ≥ 60°	P value
Concomitant Akin osteotomy	7 (15.9)	2 (6.7%)	6 (31.6%)	N.S.
Non-union at osteotomy site	0	0	0	N.S.
Delayed wound healing	2 (4.5%)	3 (10%)	3 (15.8%)	N.S.
Radiographic evidence of recurrent hallux valgus	4 (9.1%)	2 (6.7%)	2 (10.5%)	N.S.
Radiographic evidence of hallux varus	7 (15.9%)	2 (6.7%)	2 (10.5%)	N.S.
Ankylosis of hallux MTP joint	0	0	1 (5.3%)	N.S.
Re-operation	0	1 (3.3%)	0	N.S.

The chi-square test was used to test for differences between the three groups (p < 0.05)

N.S: not significant, HVA, hallux valgus angle; MTP, metatarsophalangeal
