Introduction: Hallux valgus is a common foot ailment that is initially treated conservatively. In failed conservative treatment, many surgical options are available but mainly consists of bony osteotomies which carry potential complications such as shortening of the first metatarsal, dorsiflexion malunion, delayed union, nonunion and osteonecrosis of the capital fragment. Methods: We introduce a modified technique using Mini TightRope device for correction of the hallux valgus and present the short-term outcome for 3 informed and consented patients who refused bony osteotomy. Results: Results were satisfactory with regards to pain reduction, footwear and daily living activities. Conclusion: Selection of patients and surgical technique are important factors to avoid complications such as stress fracture and rupture of the device.
