Table 4.

The average maximum load on the plantar side of every metatarsal head. For calculating the average maximum value, the ten maximum values of every metatarsal head elements were used. Model 1: Foot with HV. Model 2: Correction of HV with Mitchel osteotomy, stabilized with Nylon suture. Model 3: Correction of HV with Mitchel osteotomy, stabilized with Nylon suture and with one bio-absorbable pin. Model 4: Correction of HV with Mitchel osteotomy, stabilized with Nylon suture and with two bio-absorbable pins.
