Next a surgeon may de-rotate or rotate the first metatarsal 230 for subsequent fusion to the first cuneiform 210. De-rotation refers to rotation of the first metatarsal 230 about the longitudinal axis 1976/2276 such that the first metatarsal 230 assumes a position before the condition presented, for example a hallux valgus condition. As noted de-rotation may mean rotating the first metatarsal 230 counterclockwise.
