The chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus was modified by addition of screw fixation and change of the osteotomy angle. Thirty-six patients underwent this modified osteotomy. All had mild to moderate symptomatic hallux valgus deformities. No other forefoot procedures were performed. Standing radiographs were taken before surgery, at 1 month after surgery, and, for the 15 patients who returned for long-term follow-up, at 1 year or more after surgery. Overall, 35/42 procedures were rated as satisfactory without reservations and 7 were rated as satisfactory with mild reservations. All patients stated that they had some improvement in their preoperative symptoms, which included pain, cosmetic concerns, and shoe wear difficulties. Radiographically, none of the capital fragments displaced and there were no malunions, nonunions, nor evidence of avascular necrosis. The average metatarsophalangeal-1 angle improved 8° and the average intermetatarsal 1–2 angle improved 4°. This modification is relatively simple, increases stability, and allows early weightbearing. In our experience, the modified chevron osteotomy has been a very reliable procedure for mild to moderate symptomatic hallux valgus deformity.

Bone Structures

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.

The distal Chevron or Austin procedure, is arguably the most prominent of the distal metatarsal osteotomies. Recent studies in the literature have shown a trend in recommending this osteotomy or one if it’s modifications for even severe hallux valgus deformities. Therefore we aimed to compare the clinical and pedobarographic results after chevron osteotomy in patients with moderate hallux valgus deformity. We investigated a homogeneous lot of 10 patients undergoing hallux valgus correction using distal chevron technique. In order to quantify the improvement of the gait in these patients, several biomechanical parameters have been measured using a matrix of pressure sensors that provide us the vertical reaction forces when the foot is in physical contact with it. Results show an improvement in patient’s velocity and cadence after the surgery, and also a smaller variability in gait. Nevertheless, optimal clinical outcomes are still found to have altered ground reaction forces on pedobarographic assessment.

Established Technique

The distal chevron osteotomy is a well-established technique for correction of symptomatic mild to moderate metatarsus primus varus with hallux valgus deformity. Fixation of the osteotomy ranges from none to bone pegs, Kirschner wires, screws, or absorbable pins. We evaluated one surgeon's (J.K.D.) results of distal chevron osteotomy fixation with a single, nonpredrilled, 1.3-mm poly-p-dioxanone pin and analyzed any differences in patients with unilateral or bilateral symptomatic metatarsus primus varus with hallux valgus deformities. All osteotomies healed without evidence of infection, osteolysis, nonunion, or necrosis. Equal correction was achieved in unilateral and bilateral procedures. The technique is quick and easy, and adequate fixation is achieved.

End Of Treatment

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.
