AB  - BACKGROUND: Hypermobility of the first metatarsocuneiform (MC) joint is one of 
      the causes believed to contribute to symptomatic hallux valgus. An arthrodesis of 
      the first MC joint offers definitive correction of the intermetatarsal angle. 
      This procedure can be associated with pseudoarthrosis and shortening of the first 
      ray. This study presents our experience and results with an arthroscopic 
      technique for performing this arthrodesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five patients 
      with severe hallux valgus associated with hypermobility of the first MC joint 
      were treated with this operation. RESULTS: The functional assessment scales 
      revealed very good results. Radiographic evaluation confirmed fusion in all the 
      patients. The hallux valgus angle improved by 25.6 degrees , the intermetatarsal angle 
      improved by 10.6 degrees . The shortening of the first ray was limited to 2.7 mm. 
      CONCLUSION: This new technique is a valid option for performing an arthrodesis of 
      the MC joint.
