A retrospective clinical and radiological review of 51 patients (mean age 66 years) was performed to assess the outcome of excision arthroplasty for hallux valgus in an elderly population and to compare the results of the Keller, which is still used frequently in many centers in the United Kingdom, and modified Mayo operations. Although significant correction of the deformity was obtained with both procedures, this was incomplete and the mean residual hallux valgus angle was greater than 20°. Lateral metatarsalgia was present in over 40% of patients. Both procedures provided good pain relief, and considerable narrowing of the forefoot was obtained with the modified Mayo operation. Excision arthroplasty in the elderly should be reserved for the low demand patient with symptomatic degenerative changes in the first MP joint in the absence of lateral metatarsalgia.

Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: We developed a new screening method for hallux valgus during weight bearing using the photo-capturing function in cell phones. Methods: We compared apparent hallux valgus angles measured from photographs of people in a standing position during weight bearing, which were captured on a smartphone (smartphone Hallux Valgus Angle: SP-HVA) (Smartphone Method), with hallux valgus angles determined using conventional radiography in a standing posture during weight-bearing (X-ray HVA: XR-HVA). We evaluated 37 feet of 25 patients (5 men and 25 women) who visited our hospital. The mean age at the time of the visit was 73.9 years. In the Smartphone Method, subjects stood upright and the examiner used a smartphone to take photos of both feet from above while holding the phone at the level of the anterior knee. Results: The mean value was 36.2° for SP-HVA and 36.7° for XR-HVA; the two methods showed a statistically significant correlation (correlation coefficient of 0.86). Conclusion: Our smartphone-assisted screening method for hallux valgus was possible to make a diagnosis equivalent to conventional radiography method without radiation exposure.

Objective: To evaluate the postoperative results of patients who underwent surgical treatment of hallux valgus with a modified Reverdin-Isham (RI) technique and to compare the achieved correction with that reported by studies using the original technique. Methods: This is a retrospective study with patients with mild to moderate hallux valgus who underwent surgery from June 2010 to July 2019. All patients were operated using the modified RI technique. Data were collected through the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) questionnaire, in addition to pre and postoperative radiographic studies of the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the hallux valgus angle (HVA), and the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). Results: The mean postoperative follow-up was 30.1 months, and the mean age of patients was 56.4 years. The median AOFAS score in the postoperative period was increased by 56 points. The mean HVA was reduced in 16.5°, the mean IMA was reduced in 4.3°, and the mean DMAA was reduced in 10°. There were no cases of displacement or deviation of the first metatarsal head during the postoperative follow-up. Conclusion: The modified RI technique provided considerable stability to the osteotomy, in addition to a significant correction of the measured angles and an improvement in AOFAS scores, demonstrating itself as an effective technique for correcting mild to moderate hallux valgus.

Background: We compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of moderate and severe hallux valgus treated by extended distal chevron osteotomy (EDCO) and distal soft tissue release (DSTR). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis comparing the utility of EDCO for the treatment of moderate (36 patients, 46 feet) and severe (36 patients, 42 feet) hallux valgus. The radiologic outcomes were evaluated based on the preoperative and 3-year follow-up x-rays. The clinical results were investigated based on the 3-year follow-up Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications. Results: The mean postoperative intermetatarsal angle, hallux valgus angle, tibial sesamoid position, and relative metatarsal bone length were significantly different compared with the preoperative values for both the moderate and severe groups ( P < .001). At 3-year follow-up, intergroup differences were observed in the mean postoperative intermetatarsal angle ( P = .001), hallux valgus angle ( P = .003), and tibial sesamoid position ( P = .013); however, mean radiographic results were within the normal range for both groups. There were no intergroup differences for either the first metatarsal bone length ( P = .172) or shortening ( P = .621). No significant difference in MOXFQ ( P = .525) was evident between the groups at 3-year follow-up. In satisfaction analysis, 82.6% of the moderate group reported good to excellent results, as did 81.0% of the severe group ( P = .815). A total of 7 complications were reported in each group ( P = 1.000). Conclusion: The present study showed that midterm mean radiographic results of both moderate and severe hallux valgus treated by EDCO with DSTR were favorable, and those values were within the normal range. Clinical outcomes were comparable between the 2 groups, including overall efficacy. Based on these results, we recommend EDCO with DSTR as an efficient and reliable operative option for both moderate and severe hallux valgus. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Objective: To analyze the outcomes of percutaneous hallux valgus correction using the Reverdin-Isham osteotomy through clinical and radiographic studies. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 43 feet in 38 patients with mild or moderate hallux valgus from June 2009 to July 2018. The mean age at surgery was 59 years; the mean postoperative follow-up time was 79 months. All patients treated with the Reverdin technique modified by Isham were evaluated in the pre- and postoperative periods using the American Association Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score; we radiographically measured the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and the first distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). Results: The AOFAS score increased by an average of 55 points. On average, the HVA decreased by 14°, the IMA by 3° and the DMAA by 9°. The mean reduction in the length of the first metatarsal bone was 0.3 cm. Conclusion: This surgical technique was effective for hallux valgus correction, demonstrating good angle correction and a marked increase in the AOFAS score.

The Austin osteotomy is a widely accepted method for correction of mild and moderate hallux valgus. In view of publications by Kitaoka et al. in 1991 and by Mann and colleagues, a more radical lateral soft tissue procedure was added to the originally described procedure. From September 1992 to January 1994, 85 patients underwent an Austin osteotomy combined with a lateral soft tissue procedure to correct their hallux valgus deformities. Seventy-nine patients (94 feet) were available for follow-up. The average patient age at the time of the operation was 47.1 years, and the average follow-up was 16.2 months. The average preoperative intermetatarsal angle was 13.9°, and the average hallux valgus angle was 29.7°. After surgery, the feet were corrected to an average intermetatarsal angle of 5.8° and an average hallux valgus angle of 11.9°. Sesamoid position was corrected from 2.1 before surgery to 0.5 after surgery. The results were also graded according to the Hallux Metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal Score, and the functional and cosmetic outcomes were graded by the patient. Dissection of the plantar transverse ligament and release of the lateral capsule repositioned the tibial sesamoid and restored the biomechanics around the first metatarsophalangeal joint. There was no increased incidence of avascular necrosis of the first metatarsal head compared with the original technique.

The increase in the elderly population has prompted research on retirement. This study investigated the importance of resilience, economic satisfaction, the length of retirement, and planning to well-being during retirement of 270 participants. The majority of this sample were men (64%), and the mean age was 65 years (SD = 5.7). The participants were retired members of 10 public and private organizations in Rio de Janeiro. Factor analysis and hierarchical regression were performed. The results showed that determined resilience (mastery, adaptability, confidence and perseverance) and socioeconomic satisfaction were the main predictors of well-being in retirement and explained 28% of this model. The findings suggest that well-being in retirement is closely related to socioeconomic satisfaction and determined resilience. Additional research should address the importance of resilience for the well-being of retirees who are or not members of retirement associations. Resilience attitudes should be promoted in Retirement Education Programs.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Hallux valgus (HV) is one of the most common deformities of the foot resulting in pain and lifestyle modification of the patient. Recurrence rates of 10-47% have been documented in single individual osteotomy series. Unfortunately, surgical correction and recurrence are often defined as changes related to normal radiographs and not actually as the magnitude of correction lost with follow-up. Currently there have not been studies evaluating the percentage of recurrence of intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and hallux valgus angle (HVA). As there is substantial difference in starting IMA and HVA, as well as amount of surgical correction, our goal was to evaluate the percentage loss of correction over time comparing preoperative, initial postoperative and minimum of 2-year follow up radiographs among three different surgical correction techniques. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review study that examines the weight-bearing radiographic measurements of patients undergoing hallux valgus corrective surgery at a single institution over 5 years. Fifty-three patients were divided into first tarsometatarsal arthrodesis (i.e. Lapidus), mid-diaphyseal osteotomies (i.e. scarf), and distal metatarsal osteotomies (i.e. chevron). The preoperative, initial postoperative, and final follow up weight-bearing radiographs were measured for intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and hallux valgus angle (HVA). Primary outcome was percentage of recurrence of IMA and HVA, with the difference in angles between preoperative and initial postoperative weight-bearing films being considered 100% correction. The percentage of recurrence between initial postoperative and most recent follow up was then calculated (Figure 1A). A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and post-hoc Tukey-Kramer tests were used to compare preoperative IMA and HVA and percentage recurrence of IMA and HVA at most recent follow up. Results: There was no significant difference between Lapidus (14.3deg) and mid-diaphyseal osteotomies (12.7deg) in preoperative IMA (p-value=0.26). There was a significant difference between Lapidus (-0.3deg) and mid-diaphyseal (2.8deg) osteotomies for degree of hallux valgus recurrence as measured by IMA between initial postoperative films and final 2-year follow up (p-value=0.009). Lapidus procedure showed a greater magnitude decrease in IMA degrees from preoperation to final follow up compared to distal osteotomy (p-value=0.037) and trended toward significance compared to mid-diaphyseal (p-value=0.056). Mid-diaphyseal osteotomies (30%) showed a statistically significant higher percentage of IMA recurrence compared to Lapidus (-11%) (p-value=0.0014) (Figure 1B). When comparing percentage recurrence of HVA, distal osteotomies had a significantly smaller rate of recurrence when compared to the diaphyseal osteotomies (p-value=0.030). Conclusion: Though Lapidus and mid-diaphyseal osteotomies were performed for patients with a similar preoperative IMA, mid-diaphyseal osteotomies had a significantly higher percentage of recurrence at 2-year follow up compared to Lapidus procedures. Moreover, Lapidus procedures trended toward greater overall of IMA correction compared to mid-diaphyseal osteotomies. When either a Lapidus or mid-diaphyseal osteotomy is indicated, a Lapidus procedure may result in decreased rate of radiographic recurrence of hallux valgus at 2 years.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: There is a lack of quantitative studies on the progression of juvenile hallux valgus deformity. Therefore, we performed this study to estimate an annual change of radiographic indices for juvenile hallux valgus. Methods: We reviewed medical records of consecutive patients under the age of 15 with juvenile hallux valgus who underwent weight-bearing foot radiographs more than twice, and were followed over a period of one year or more. A total of 133 feet from 69 patients were included. Hallux valgus angle, hallux interphalangeal angle, intermetatarsal angle, metatarsus adductus angle, distal metatarsal articular angle, anteroposterior talo-1st metatarsal angle, anteroposterior talo-2nd metatarsal angle, and lateral talo-1st metatarsal angle were measured and were used as a study criteria. The progression rate of hallux valgus angle was adjusted by multiple factors including the use of a linear mixed model with gender and radiographic measurements as the fixed effects and laterality and each subject as the random effect. Results: Our results demonstrate that the value of hallux valgus angle on the radiographs progressed as the patients grew older. The hallux valgus angle increased by 0.8° per year (p<0.001)(Figure). The distal metatarsal articular angle also increased by 0.8 per year (p=0.003). Conversely, hallux interphalangeal angle decreased by 0.2° per year (p=0.019). Progression of the intermetatarsal angle and metatarsus adductus angle with aging were not statistically significant. There was a difference in progression of radiographic indices between older patients (≥10 years) and younger patients (<10 years). The hallux valgus angle increased by 1.5° per year (p<0.001) in younger patients, progression of the hallux valgus angle in older patients was not statistically significant (p=0.869) as children grew up. Conclusion: These results suggest that the hallux valgus angle increased in patients with juvenile hallux valgus under 10 years old, unlike the patients aged 10 or older. We believed that our results can help surgeons to determine a treatment strategy that uses the growth potential to achieve correction of deformity such as lateral hemiepiphyseodesis of the 1st metatarsal to patients with juvenile hallux valgus.

Background: Operative treatment is indicated for patients who have symptomatic hallux valgus (HV) with moderate to severe metatarsus adductus (MA). However, there is limited information available on the operative procedures and outcomes for the treatment of HV with MA. We aimed to investigate the average 10-year follow-up clinical and radiologic outcomes. Methods: Seventeen patients (21 feet, average age: 60.1 years) with symptomatic HV with moderate to severe MA were operatively treated. Mean postoperative follow-up duration was 114.4 (24-246) months. All feet had metatarsus adductus angle ≥20 degrees on dorsoplantar weight-bearing radiograph. The procedure included a proximal crescentic osteotomy of the first metatarsal and abduction osteotomy of the proximal third of the second and third metatarsals. Results: The mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scale score improved significantly postoperatively ( P < .001). The mean postoperative visual analog scale score (17 feet) was 2.0 (0-6). Preoperative metatarsalgia was severe in 2 feet, moderate in 17, and mild in 2. At the most recent follow-up evaluation, 11 feet had no pain, 9 had mild pain, and 1 had moderate pain. The mean hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and metatarsus adductus angle significantly decreased postoperatively ( P < .001 for all). Recurrence of HV (HV angle ≥ 20 degrees) was observed in 4 feet. Conclusion: The clinical and radiologic results indicated that our novel operative treatment for HV with moderate to severe MA can achieve significant correction of HV with MA deformities and significant improvement in pain and function. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
