This Drylab covers surgical techniques for Hallux Valgus correction via distal metatarsal osteotomy and hammer/claw toe correction using the Hohmann technique with plate osteotomy. Participants will practice key steps in osteotomy, alignment, and fixation of the first metatarsal, as well as realignment of the lesser toes to ensure optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes. Hands-on training with anatomical models allows residents to refine their precision and technique.

To support their preparation, all participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. This tool provides photorealistic 3D models and an AI-powered learning engine to deepen anatomical understanding and track learning progress.
