Background: Hallux valgus deformity consists of a lateral deviation of the great toe, metatarsus varus, and pronation of the first metatarsal. Most osteotomies only correct varus, but not the pronation of the metatarsal. Persistent postoperative pronation has been shown to increase deformity recurrence and have worse functional outcomes. The proximal rotational metatarsal osteotomy (PROMO) technique reliably corrects pronation and varus through a stable osteotomy, avoiding fusing any healthy joints. The objective of this research is to show a prospective series of the PROMO technique. Methods: Twenty-five patients (30 feet) were operated with the PROMO technique. The sample included 22 women and 3 men, average age 46 years (range 22-59), for a mean prospective follow-up of 1 year (range 9-14 months). Inclusion criteria included symptomatic hallux valgus deformities, absence of severe joint arthritis, or inflammatory arthropathies, with a metatarsal malrotation of 10 degrees or more, with no tarsometatarsal subluxation or arthritis on the anteroposterior or lateral foot radiograph views. The mean preoperative and postoperative Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) score, metatarsophalangeal angle, intermetatarsal angle, metatarsal malrotation, complications, satisfaction, and recurrence were recorded. Results: The mean preoperative and postoperative LEFS scores were 56 and 73. The median pre-/postoperative metatarsophalangeal angle was 32.5/4 degrees and the intermetatarsal angle 15.5/5 degrees. The metatarsal rotation was satisfactorily corrected in 24 of 25 patients. An Akin osteotomy was needed in 27 of 30 feet. All patients were satisfied with the surgery, and no recurrence or complications were found. Conclusions: PROMO is a reliable technique, with good short-term results in terms of angular correction, satisfaction, and recurrence. Long-term studies are needed to determine if a lower hallux recurrence rate occurs with the correction of metatarsal rotation in comparison with conventional osteotomies. Level of evidence: IV, prospective case series.

Methods: A retrospective study of 30 men (35 feet) was performed. First ray mobility, ankle dorsiflexion, pes planus, and metatarsus adductus were evaluated at the final follow-up. All internal fixation was routinely removed at six to eight weeks postoperatively. Standard radiographs were evaluated and angular measurements were calculated on all feet. Conclusion: Hallux valgus in this group of male patients was not associated with limited ankle dorsiflexion or pes planus. Men with toe pronation and a positive family history had a greater hallux valgus deformity than those without after a distal soft tissue repair with proximal first metatarsal osteotomy. There was no evidence of first ray hypermobility after a DSTP-PMO.

Background: We aimed to compare the postoperative height of the second metatarsal head relative to the first metatarsal head using axial radiographs among 3 different commonly used osteotomy techniques: proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy (PCMO), scarf osteotomy, and distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy (DCMO). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the radiographs and clinical findings of the patients with painful callosities under the second metatarsal head, complicated by hallux valgus, who underwent isolated PCMO, scarf osteotomy, or DCMO from February 2005 to January 2015. Each osteotomy was performed with 20 degrees of plantar ward obliquity. Along with lateral translation and rotation of the distal fragment to correct the deformity, lowering of the first metatarsal head was made by virtue of the oblique metatarsal osteotomy. Results: Significant postoperative change in the second metatarsal height was observed on axial radiographs in all groups; this value was greatest in the PCMO group (vs scarf: P = .013; vs DCMO: P = .008) but did not significantly differ between the scarf and DCMO groups ( P = .785). The power for second metatarsal height correction was significantly greater in the PCMO group (vs scarf: P = .0005; vs DCMO: P = .0005) but did not significantly differ between the scarf and DCMO groups ( P = .832). Conclusions: Among the 3 osteotomy techniques commonly used to correct hallux valgus deformity, we observed that PCMO yielded the most effective height change of the second metatarsal head. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative series.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Hallux valgus deformity is recently a common disease involved in the foot and ankle and many procedures are recommended globally. However it is controversial about the operative treatment for severe hallux valgus. Many authors have reported the technical difficulties and various complications. We performed rotated insertion metatarsal osteotomy with the distal soft tissue procedure for severe hallux valgus deformity since January 2008. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the medium-term outcome of this procedure. Methods: Two hundred thirty-two feet in 173 patients were enrolled in this study and followed them up for a mean of 44.5 months. The mean age at the operation was 64.5 years. Hallux valgus angle(HVA) and intermetatarsal angle(IMA) were measured. This procedure consists of the rotated insertion metatarsal osteotomy and the distal soft tissue procedure. This diaphysial longitudinal metatarsal oblique osteotomy was performed from proximally- medial site of the first metatarsal directed to distally- lateral site through the dorsal exposure. The tip of osteotomized proximal metatarsal was formed at the dorso-distal site to insert in the central intramedullary aspect of osteotomized distal metatarsal. The second triangular cut of one third of dorso-plantar thick was made about 10 to 15 mm length from the lateral tip of osteomized proximal metatarsal. The internal fixation was performed with locking plate with screws. As a result, osteotomized sites were locked each other such as a puzzle. Results: The mean preoperative HVA and IMA were 43.8 degrees and 20.1 degrees. The mean postoperative HVA and IMA were decreased to 9.0 degrees and 6.1 degrees. AOFAS scores improved from 49.3 to 89.7. All cases were obtained complete union. Postoperative displacement was in 12 feet (5.2%) and followed under-correction (or recurrence). Overcorrection (hallux varus) occurred in 10 feet (4.7%). Wound healing was delayed in 21 feet (9.1%). In general, we found no severe complication and unsatisfactory result. Conclusion: This procedure provided satisfactory result for severe hallux valgus deformity. Especially the rigid fixation at the site of metatarsal osteotomy was much stronger because of the insertion and locking plate. However the further more outcomes in detail are essential for longer term follow-up.
