Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine whether lateral soft-tissue release (LSTR) has a beneficial or detrimental effect on the outcome of distal Chevron first metatarsal osteotomy (DCMO) in the treatment of moderate hallux valgus (HV). Methods: We compared the effect of different surgical treatments in 2 groups of patients: group I (23 patients, 25 feet, average age of 55 [from 43 to 77] years) was subjected to DCMO only, whereas group II (18 patients, 23 feet, average age of 59 [from 52 to 70] years]) was subjected to DCMO with LSTR. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society’s Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal scale survey was conducted postoperatively, followed by the brief survey on postoperative patient satisfaction. The patient follow-up period was from 18 to 24 months after surgical treatment, on average. Results: After surgical intervention, both groups of patients presented with an improved HV angle, but there was no significant difference between the groups. However, group II showed significant improvements in medial sesamoid bone position and patient satisfaction scores as compared with group I. Conclusion: Our midterm follow-up of surgical treatments for moderate HV deformity suggests that both procedures provide good postoperative results. However, according to our results, DCMO with LSTR provides better results than procedures without LSTR. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level III: Retrospective comparative study

Topicality. Widespread use of the method of I. Ponseti allows to significantly reduce the number of reconstructive surgeries and/or reduce their volume. However, if presence the rigid, severe deformities that cannot be corrected with staged plaster casts, or recurrences, surgical treatment is advisable. The literature describes many surgical techniques, the main purpose of which is to reduce the frequency of postoperative complications. And at the same time find the most convenient access to eliminate contractures, further wound healing by primary tension with minimal formation of connective tissue elements. Objective: to reduce the incidences of complications in the surgical treatment of congenital clubfoot by using a modified surgical approach. Materials and methods. In the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of NCSH «OKHMATDYT» 57 children (72 feet) with a diagnosis of congenital clubfoot underwent surgical treatment using a modified Carroll approach for the period from January 2014 to September 2018. The mean age of patients was 3±0.4 years. 41 of them boys and 16 girls. Bilateral deformity was observed in 12 patients. 48 patients (58 feet) were underwent surgical treatment after initial treatment with staged plaster casts according to the method of I. Ponseti. Recurrences of deformity after surgery was observed in 9 patients (14 feet). Results. When assessing the immediate results during surgery in all patients, complete correction of foot deformity was achieved. No postoperative complications were noted. Long-term treatment results 2 years after surgery showed that good results were in 12 patients (21±9.53%), satisfactory in 39 (68.4±27.14%) and unsatisfactory in 6 (7±2.18%). Four patients with unsatisfactory results and residual manifestations of deformity in the form of passively corrected isolated adduction of the anterior foot, subsequently underwent surgery to transplant the anterior tibialis tendon to the lateral cuneiform bone. And 2 patients – wedge-shaped resection of the cuboid bone. Indication of which was not the possibility of passive correction of deformity. Conclusions. The comparative analysis of the obtained results and literature data testifies to the effectiveness of the proposed method of treatment of idiopathic clubfoot in children (using three approaches), as well as in the presence of residual deformity after conservative and surgical treatment. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. Key words: clubfoot, children, posteromedial release, surgical treatment.

Abstract Introduction In low-income countries (LIC), international surgeons face the fact that there are patients they cannot treat. The goal of this study was to identify and analyze patients lost to treatment. Material and methods We analyzed retrospectively the data of 282 trauma victims from a non-governmental organizational (NGO) hospital in Sierra Leone, Africa. During a 3-month period (10.10.2015–08.01.2016), these patients had 367 injuries and underwent 263 orthopedic surgeries. Despite a clear indication, some patients did not receive surgical treatment. We identified these injuries and the reason why they could not be operated. The anatomic region of the injury was evaluated and if they had a bone or soft tissue defect or were infected. Results We identified 95 (25.89%) injuries in 70 patients (47 males; 23 females) that were not be operated. The reasons were lack of specific implants (no implant group; N = 33), no treatment strategy for the injury (no solution group; N = 29), and patients that were lost (lost patient group; N = 33), almost equally distributed by 1/3. In the no implant group were mainly closed fractures and fractures of the pelvis and the proximal femur. The implants needed were locking plates (N = 19), proximal femoral nails (N = 8), and implants for pelvic surgery (N = 6). In the no solution group were nearly all bone (P < 0.0000), soft tissue defects (P < 0.00001) and infections (P = 0.00003) compared to the rest and more open fractures (P < 0.00001). In the lost patients group, most fractures were closed (24 out of 33, P = 0.033). These fractures were mostly not urgent and were postponed repeatedly. Conclusion One quarter of the patients did not receive the surgical treatment needed. Besides acquisition of implants, surgical skills and expertise could be a solution for this issue. Nevertheless, these skills must be passed to local surgeons.
