Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of continuous wound infiltration with ropivacaine in comparison to standard pain management after elective distal metatarsal osteotomy for postoperative pain control.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- All patients undergoing a distal metatarsal osteotomy (only Chevron or Scarf) and lateral release of the adductor halluces muscle with/without concomitant osteotomy of the proximal phalanx of the greater toe (Akin) for idiopathic hallux valgus deformity will be included.
Exclusion Criteria
- hallux valgus surgery other then mentioned above or concomitant other procedures
- denial to participate and give informed consent
- patients with neurological diseases that affect the sensory-motor function
- patients with any short-term (1 month) previous surgery on affected lower extremity
