Abstract

•First metatarsal osteotomy stability is important for expeditious healing.•Positive correlation between bone mineral density and bending stiffness.•Negative correlation between bone mineral density dorsal angulation.•No significant correlation between age and osteotomy stability measures.•High bone mineral density favors earlier weight bearing, active physical therapy.
