Purpose:   We report 3- to 8-year follow-up results for the first tarsometatarsal joint derotational arthrodesis.Methods:   A total of 70 patients (88 feet) with symptomatic flexible hallux valgus were operated between 2003 and 2009. In all, 66 patients (94.3%) with 84 (95.5%) feet were enrolled in retrospective analysis; of those, 58 (87.9%) patients with 76 (90.5%) feet were followed for a mean of 5.1 (range: 3.0–8.3) years. Preoperative, 6 week postoperative, and late follow-up weightbearing radiographs were evaluated along with clinical examination and questionnaires.Results:   The mean hallux valgus angle improved 13.4° (95% confidence interval: 11.6–15.1, p &lt; .001) at the latest follow-up, while the mean intermetatarsal angle correction was 4.5° (95% confidence interval: 3.7–5.2, p &lt; .001). There were three (4.0%) nonunions, and seven (9.2%) feet needed reoperation during follow-up.Conclusion:   First tarsometatarsal joint derotational arthrodesis is an effective procedure for correcting flexible hallux valgus deformity and provides a satisfactory long-term outcome.
