The use of combined chevron-Akin osteotomy does not affect HVA or IMA correction. The combination of chevron and Akin osteotomies reduces the risk of increased HVA and IPA in long-term follow-up. The additional Akin osteotomy does not increase the risk of adjacent-joint arthritis. Combining chevron osteotomy with Akin osteotomy is recommended in hallux valgus deformity correction.
