Background: Percutaneous, transverse distal metatarsal osteotomy with K-wire fixation (the Bösch technique) is an established technique for hallux valgus correction. Nevertheless, the risk of damaging the anatomical structures during the operation is unknown. Methods: Forty fresh-frozen anatomical foot specimens with hallux valgus deformity underwent a percutaneous corrective procedure. Specimens of group A (n = 20) were operated by an experienced surgeon while specimens of group B (n = 20) were done by untrained residents. Results: The dorsal cutaneous nerve was injured in 1 of 20 cases in group A and 6 of 20 cases in group B ( P = .037). There was a significant difference in overall complication rate between specimens of group A and group B ( P = .043). Conclusions: The results show an increased risk of perioperative injury of the dorsal cutaneous branch of the deep peroneal nerve as well as a significant effect of the surgeon’s experience on the overall complication rate. Clinical Relevance: Results of this study are highly relevant for all surgeons who perform percutaneous, minimally invasive hallux valgus surgery to avoid damage to the peripheral nerves. In addition, the data suggest an intensive training for surgeons before minimally invasive hallux valgus surgery is performed without supervision.

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.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Hallux valgus is a common deformity of the forefoot. There are over 130 procedures described to correct hallux valgus. Classically, the treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus is with a distal metatarsal osteotomy. A variety of fixation techniques have been described for use with this osteotomy most of which require partial or non-weight bearing until the osteotomy is healed. Tension Band fixation is a well-known principle in orthopedic surgery. The goal of the present study is to radiographically assess the maintenance of distal first metatarsal osteotomy fixation using a novel tension band device (Re+Line tension band bunion plate system, Nextremity Solutions) with immediate post-operative weight-bearing. Methods: The patient database for one surgeon was retrospectively reviewed for patients that underwent hallux valgus correction with the Re+Line tension band device between 2014 and 2017. Postoperative protocol included a soft dressing, firm surgical shoe, and weight-bearing as tolerated with a cane. Patients were excluded if fixation was achieved with something other than a tension band construct. Radiographs were obtained and reviewed retrospectively by 3 authors. Pre and postoperative hallux valgus (HVA) and intermetatarsal angles (IMA) were measured as described previously in the literature, and the changes in correction compared. Maintenance of correction and hardware integrity were assessed at final follow-up after weight bearing as tolerated in a surgical shoe in the postoperative period. Statistical analysis was performed using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the changes in HVA and IMA. Results: There was a total of 72 patients and 76 toes that underwent hallux valgus correction with a tension band construct, at a mean follow-up of 4.36 months. 68 of 72 patients were female. The average age was 60.8 years old. The mean preoperative HVA was 27.1 degrees. The mean postoperative HVA was 6.14 degrees, with a mean correction of 20.22 degrees (p<0.001). The mean preoperative IMA was 14.14 degrees. The mean postoperative IMA was 6.10 degrees, with a mean correction of 7.98 degrees (p<0.001). There was loss of reduction found in 6 of 76 toes (7.89%).There were zero cases of hardware failure. All osteotomies healed at final follow-up. Conclusion: This study shows successful radiographic outcome after hallux valgus correction using a tension band construct and allowing immediate full weight-bearing in a surgical shoe in the postoperative period. Significant deformity correction was achieved and maintained and all osteotomies healed. The Re+Line tension band bunion correction system can be safely used as a successful option to fix distal first metatarsal osteotomies, while allowing patients to fully weight bear in a surgical shoe postoperatively and potentially return to activities faster than when using traditional fixation methods. Future studies are needed to assess functional outcomes and patient satisfaction with this novel technique.
