Background/Objectives: Reverdin–Isham osteotomy is effective in correcting moderate hallux valgus deformity but has certain limitations when correcting a deformity in the sagittal plane. This study aimed to evaluate the impact on pain, functionality, and radiological measures of angular corrections, and the safety of the Reverdin–Isham lateral translation technique through minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of a moderate hallux valgus compared to Reverdin–Isham standard osteotomy. Methods: A pilot 6-month prospective cohort study was conducted on adults over 18 years old with a hallux valgus in at least one foot. The study exposure was the use of the Reverdin–Isham lateral translation technique. The outcome variables were pain and functionality through VAS and AOFAS scales, respectively, and radiological measurements of the first toe metatarsophalangeal angle (MPA), first space intermetatarsal angle (IMA), proximal articular set angle (PASA), distal articular set angle (DASA), metatarsal formula, and position of sesamoids in the AP projection. Results: The study involved 60 participants. Results indicate significant reductions in pain and radiological measures in both cohorts: MPA improved by 23.13 degrees, IMA by 5.93 degrees, and sesamoid position by 4.23 degrees in patients who underwent the lateral translation technique versus 13.20, 3.30, and 1.57 degrees, respectively, in patients who experienced the standard Reverdin–Isham technique. The lateral translation method showed greater reductions in these metrics compared to the standard Reverdin–Isham technique (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Percutaneous Reverdin–Isham techniques, both standard and with lateral translations, effectively corrected moderate hallux valguses. However, the lateral translation method provided greater reductions in MPA, IMA, and sesamoid positions, making it more suitable for deformities with IMAs over 15 degrees.
