Abstract
A method for bunion repair using a suture anchor-button construct. The suture anchor-button construct includes a suture anchor, a button, and a suture strand attached through the suture anchor and passing through holes in the button. A first diameter hole is drilled through the first metatarsal and a second, smaller diameter hole is drilled through the second metatarsal. The suture anchor of the construct is passed through the hole in the first metatarsal and into the hole in the second metatarsal, and the suture anchor is screwed into the second metatarsal. The first metatarsal and the second metatarsal are pushed together to correct the intermetatarsal angular deformity. The button of the construct is then advanced against the medial surface of the first metatarsal, and the button is secured in place by tying the suture ends together.
