Article is devoted to the description of different osteotomies, including miniinvasive osteotomy of the first metatarsal in cases of hallux valgus treatment. Indications and contra-indications to application of this surgery are described. Routine methods of operative treatment are also described. The comparative analysis of advantages and shortcomings of the described surgeries is carried out. It was noted that use of miniinvasive surgery allows to reach good results in the same terms, as when using routine techniques. Thus there is no need for use of the cast. Patients use special footwear instead, allowing to begin walking in postoperative period at first day after surgery. The cosmetic effect is much higher when using a miniinvasive way (a skin incision of 1-1,5 cm). Patients are examined in terms from 2 to 5 months. The general assessment on the AOFAS scale - 84 points.
