Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: It is still unclear whether generalized ligamentous laxity is a risk factor for recurred hallux valgus deformity. This study was performed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after proximal chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus in patients with generalized ligamentous laxity, and to determine the effect on postoperative recurrence of deformity. Methods: A total of 198 feet from 169 female patients were treated with a proximal chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus with a mean follow-up of 46.3 months. When generalized ligamentous laxity was defined as Beighton score ≥ 5 points, there were 18 patients (10.7%) in laxity group and 151 patients (89.3%) in non-laxity group. Clinical evaluation consisted of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), and radiographic measurement of hallux alignment. Risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence were evaluated using univariate analysis. Results: Recurrence rates were 21.7% in the laxity group and 17.1% in non-laxity group (p = 0.218), when defined as hallux valgus angle ≥ 20°. No significant differences of measurement at final follow-up were found between the 2 groups in terms of AOFAS score, FAAM, recurrence rate, hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). Preoperative HVA and IMA were found to be predictive factors of recurrence (OR = 6.3, 4.2; P = .001, .018, respectively). Conclusion: There were no statistical differences in the clinical and radiographic outcomes between hallux valgus with and without generalized ligamentous laxity. Generalized ligamentous laxity demonstrated no definitive effects on postoperative recurrence of hallux valgus deformity.

Results of biplanar chevron osteotomy performed on patients with mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity with an increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) are shown. The study included clinical data of 32 patients (54 feet) who had completed a 2-year follow-up, and radiological data of these 32 and other 29 patients (50 feet) for a total of 61 patients (104 feet, 53 right and 51 left). There were 59 females and two males with ages varying from 11 to 66 years. According to the AOFAS Hallux Rating, the preoperative average score (50) improved to 90 (average score after the surgery). The hallux valgus angle was improved from an average of 25° to 14°, the first intermetatarsal angle from 12° to 8° and the DMAA from 15° to 5°. At the end of treatment, 94% of patients were classified as having grade 0 or I sesamoid lateral sub-luxation. Given improvement in angles and 90% of patients satisfied with an average AOFAS postoperative score of 90, the technique seems indicated for treatment of symptomatic hallux valgus deformity with increased DMAA.

Category: Bunion, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Numerous corrective osteotomies have been performed for surgical treatment of hallux valgus(HV). One of these procedures is distal chevron osteotomy, traditionally indicated for correction of mild to moderate HV. We proposed a new modification of the chevron osteotomy, extended distal chevron osteotomy, to provide even greater stability by extend the contact surface, as well as more effective and accurate correction of the angulation and rotational profile than conventional osteotomy. Methods: Between July 2013 and June 2014, the extended distal chevron osteotomy (DCO) was performed for the treatment of mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity in 63 feet (Group A) by the same surgeon. For the extended chevron, the first osteotomy was performed to cut 5-10 mm from the head of metatarsal to the proximal upper 1/3 of the neck. The second osteotomy was performed to cut 2.5~3.0 cm from the upper 1/3 of the neck toward horizontal plane of the plantar surface with an angle of 45~50 degree. Standard foot radiographic measurements, hallux valgus angle(HVA) and intermetatarsal angle(IMA), were recorded to compare with the values of 37 patients (Group B) who were treated by the traditional DCO technique. Results: Mean patient age was 45.3 (range 15–78) years, and 54 patients were available for follow-up at both one and two years postoperatively. Mean follow-up duration was 13.7 (range 4–26) months. In group A, mean HVA decreased from 32.3° preoperatively to 8.4° at final follow-up, while the angle of group B decreased from 32.4° to 11.4°. Mean IMA decreased from 15.1° preoperatively to 7.3° at final follow-up in group A, while the IMA decreased from 15.1° to 8.9° in group B. That way we could verify that the extended chevron osteotomy is more effective for stability and correcting of the angulation and rotational profile than traditional DCO. Conclusion: The extended chevron osteotomy achieved even greater stability and accurate correction of the deformity. Furthermore, it was more effective than traditional chevron osteotomy in terms of correction of the angulation and rotational profile.

Abstract Background Scarf and Chevron Osteotomy have been widely used for Hallux Valgus Deformity(HVD) to correcting hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal 1-2 angle (IMA), but there still have controversy which approach is the best way to repair HVD,this study aims to use meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Scarf and Chevron Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus Deformity.Methods Pubmed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane library databases were searched for relevant studies published before September 1, 2019. Studies clearly reporting a comparison of Scarf and Chevron Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus Deformity were selected. The Post-operative hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal 1-2 angle (IMA) were evaluated and also the correction of HVA and IMA. The weighted mean differences and relative risks were calculated using a fixed-effects or random-effects model.Results Five studies were included in this meta-analysis,one were prospective randomized controlled trials and three were randomized control trials.A total of 434 patients (210 Scarf and 224 Chevron) were enrolled in the studies.Compare Scarf Osteotomy,Chevron Osteotomy can significantly decreaseed Post-operative hallux valgus angle (HVA)[MD = 1.92 95% CI (1.21 to 2.63),P < 0.0001],but there have no significantly difference between Scarf and Chevron Osteotomy groups in terms of Postoperative intermetatarsal angle (IMA),the correction of IMA and HVA(C-IMA/HVA),DMAA,AOFAS and complication incidence[MD = 0.42, 95% CI (-0.34 to 1.17),P=0.28;MD = -0.30, 95% CI (-0.72 to 0.12),P =0.16; MD = -0.88, 95% CI (-2.34 to 0.57),P =0.23;MD = -0.78, 95% CI (-2.29 to 0.72),P =0.31;MD = -2.01, 95% CI (-9.81 to 5.61),P =0.59 and OR=0.80, 95% CI (0.40 to 1.60),P=0.53 respectively].Conclusion Compare Scarf osteotomy,Chevron Osteotomy can significantly decreaseed Post-operative hallux valgus angle (HVA) and other clinical outcomes are similar between the two treatments.

Background: Scarf midshaft metatarsal osteotomy has become increasingly popular as a treatment option for moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformities because of its great versatility. Numerous studies on Scarf osteotomy have been published. However, no prospective studies were available until 2002. Since then, only short-term follow-up prospective studies have been published. We present the results of a prospective study of 21 patients treated by Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus with follow-up of 8 years. Methods: Between August 1, 1999, and October 31, 1999, 23 patients (23 feet) with moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformity were included. Clinical (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score) and radiologic (hallux valgus angle, first intermetatarsal angle, and sesamoid position) evaluations were performed preoperatively and 1 and 8 years postoperatively. Results: Clinical evaluation showed a significant improvement in the mean forefoot score from 47 to 83 (of a possible 100) at 1 year (P &lt; .001). Radiographic evaluation showed significant improvement in the hallux valgus angle (mean improvement, 19°; P &lt; .001) and in the intermetatarsal angle (mean improvement, 6°; P &lt; .001). These clinical and radiographic results were maintained at the final evaluation 8 years postoperatively. Conclusions: Scarf osteotomy tends to provide predictable and sustainable correction of moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformities. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 100(1): 35–40, 2010)

We retrospectively reviewed the results of using a biplanar chevron osteotomy performed on patients who presented with hallux valgus deformities with an increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). The study included 17 feet (14 patients) of 12 women and 2 men. The average follow-up was 33 months. The average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-lnterphalangeal Clinical Rating Score was 91. Ten of the 14 patients (13 of 17 feet) stated that they would choose to undergo the procedure again. The hallux valgus angle was improved from an average of 22° to 18°, the intermetatarsal angle from 11° to 9°, and the DMAA from 16° to 9°. We have demonstrated this procedure to be useful in the treatment of symptomatic bunion deformities with an increased DMAA.

Background Hallux valgus, one of the most common deformities of the great toe, may cause pain, dysfunction, and impaired gait pattern. In this retrospective study we report the results of a new type of distal metatarsal osteotomy combined with distal soft-tissue release in patients with mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity. Methods This new technique was used in the management of 32 feet of 31 patients (eight men and 23 women) with mild-to-moderate hallux valgus. Hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and distal metatarsal articular angle were measured on preoperative, early postoperative (6–8 weeks), and late (1 year) postoperative radiographs. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux metatarsophalangeal score was calculated. Sesamoid position, by considering medial sesamoid position, and metatarsal shortness were also measured. Results Statistically significant differences were detected between the preoperative and late postoperative measurements of the hallux valgus angle, distal metatarsal articular angle, intermetatarsal angle, and sesamoid position parameters in patients operated on with this technique. Improvement was 14° for the hallux valgus angle, 4° for the distal metatarsal articular angle, and 4° for the intermetatarsal angle. Sesamoid position was also improved, and the mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score was significantly improved. Metatarsal shortness greater than 2 mm was observed in two patients without resulting in any clinical discomfort. Conclusions This new technique was easy, safe, and promising in patients diagnosed as having mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity.

Hallux valgus is characterized by the appearance and growth of a painful “lump” in the region of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the development of forefoot corns, and inability to choose the right shoes, which leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Corrective osteotomies that preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint, for example Austin (Chevron) osteotomy, are usually used for hallux valgus deformity of the I, II degrees. Radiography with the study of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is a research method that shows the true correlation between bone structures. The correlation between the radiological and functional indicators of osteotomy allows us to determine possible recommendations for indications for surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Correlation shows that the largest correction of hallux valgus in older patients occurs due to a small adjustment of the angle of DMMA and HVA. IMA had the best correction after Austin osteotomy among patients of a younger age, then the HVA, and the DMMA had minimum correction according to the AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka). The revealed correlations allow us to determine the correct tactics for the treatment of hallux valgus by identifying the benefits of Austin osteotomy.

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.

The purpose of this study was to determine the intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of physicians on a repetitive basis in making angular measurements of hallux valgus deformities. The hallux valgus angle, the 1–2 intermetatarsal angle, and the distal metatarsal articular angle and the assessment of congruency/subluxation of the first MTP joint were evaluated on a repetitive basis. Physicians were provided with a series of black and white photographs of radiographs with a hallux valgus deformity. Three different sets of photographs randomly ordered were sent at a minimum interval of six weeks to the participants. Participating physicians were extremely reliable in the measurement of the 1–2 metatarsal angle. 96.7% of the photographs were repeatedly measured within a range of 5 degrees or less. The angular measurements to determine the hallux valgus angle were slightly less reliable, but 86.2% of photos were repeatedly measured within a range of 5 degrees or less. In the measurement of the distal metatarsal articular angle, 58.9% of photographs were repeatedly measured within a range of 5 degrees or less. There was a wide range within physician evaluators who recognized very few congruent joints (2 of 21) and those who recognized several congruent joints (11 of 21). Most physicians appeared to be internally consistent in the assessment of MTP congruency; however, some photographs were much more difficult to assess than others. This study validates the reliability of the measurement of the hallux valgus and the 1–2 metatarsal angle. The inter-observer reliability in the measurement of the distal metatarsal articular angle is questioned.
