Severe Hallux Valgus

Objective: Although hallux valgus is a common diagnosis and there are different well-described techniques for its correction, the presence of this deformity associated with a diagnosis of metatarsus adductus is relatively uncommon, and there is no consensus regarding surgical treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the preliminary radiographic results of angular corrections obtained in a series of cases of the surgical treatment of severe hallux valgus associated with adduction of the metatarsal bones, following the technique proposed herein. Methods: Retrospective data were collected from the medical records and pre- and postoperative radiographs of patients subjected to Lapidus arthrodesis combined with lateral rotation osteotomy at the bases of the second and third metatarsals. The following angular measurements were performed before and after surgery: hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and the degree of adduction of metatarsal bones (measured by Sgarlato’s and Engel’s angles). The mean follow-up period was 18 months (16-24 months). Results: The mean hallux valgus correction angle was 31° (19-53°), and the mean intermetatarsal correction angle was 5.771° (2-9°). Regarding the forefoot adduction, the mean correction angle measured by the Sgarlato technique was 15.57° (12-21°) and by the Engel technique was 15.71° (10-22°). All of the measured angles decreased significantly in the postoperative assessment. Conclusion: Lapidus arthrodesis combined with rotational osteotomy at the bases of the second and third metatarsals proved to be effective for correcting the adduction of the metatarsals, allowing for the alignment of the first metatarsal and consequent correction of the deformity.

Objective: To evaluate the preliminary results of angular corrections from a series of cases of surgical treatment of severe hallux valgus associated with metatarsal adduction. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the medical records and pre- and postoperative radiographs of patients undergoing Lapidus arthrodesis combined with lateral rotation osteotomy at the bases of the second and third metatarsals. The following angle measurements were performed before and after surgery: hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and the degree of adduction of metatarsal bones (measured using Sgarlato’s and Engel’s angles). The mean follow-up period was 18 months (16-24 months). Results: The mean hallux valgus correction angle was 31° (19-53°), and the mean intermetatarsal correction angle was 5.771° (2-9°). Regarding forefoot adduction, the mean correction angle measured was 15.57° (12-21°) when the Sgarlato technique was used and 15.71° (10-22°) when the Engel technique was used. All measured angles decreased significantly in the postoperative evaluation. Conclusion: Rotational osteotomy at the bases of the second and third metatarsals was effective for correcting metatarsal adduction, allowing the alignment of the first metatarsal and therefore the correction of the deformity.

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.

Prospective Case Series

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.

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.

Background: This study was aimed at assessing clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Minimally Invasive Intramedullary Nail Device (MIIND) to correct moderate to severe hallux valgus (HV) and the long-term persistence of its effects. Methods: This case series study involved 100 patients, 84 women and 16 men (mean age, 59 years), who underwent the MIIND procedure with a mean follow-up of 97 months. Assessment was performed preoperatively, postoperatively, at 6 and 12 months, and at last follow-up. Clinical outcomes were evaluated with American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, visual analog scale (VAS), and patient satisfaction. Intermetatarsal angle (IMA), metatarsophalangeal hallux valgus angle (HVA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), and tibial sesamoid position were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: The mean AOFAS score improved from 57.9 to 90.5 points, VAS scale was 1.5 ± 2.0, and patients’ satisfaction was 8.7 ± 1.4. The mean correction of the HVA and IMA showed a significant correction; however, the effect of time was not statistically significant on DMAA. Sex ( P = .047), severity ( P = .050), associated procedures ( P = .000), and preoperative angle ( P = .000) showed significant association with HVA correction and its persistence over time. Age was not statistically significant. Complications were 9 cases of superficial wound infection and 6 recurrences. Conclusions: The MIIND technique proved a viable procedure to correct moderate to severe HV with a low rate of complications and recurrence, producing significant correction of most radiographic parameters assessed and their persistence, even at long term. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series study.

Background: A proximal spherical metatarsal osteotomy was devised to correct not only varus deviation of the first metatarsal, but also dorsiflexion. We expected to increase the medial longitudinal arch by adding plantar flexion at the osteotomy site. To investigate the limitations of this procedure for feet with severe hallux valgus, a followup study was performed on patients with preoperative hallux valgus angles greater than or equal to 40 degrees. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight feet in 37 patients (10 male, 27 female) (60 years; range, 20 to 84 years) were investigated. Mean followup was 4 years and 1 month, ranging from 2 to 8 years. The spherical osteotomy was performed using a curved chisel. A distal soft tissue procedure was done at the same time. Twenty feet received combined operations for their combined deformities. Results: While 81% of patients were satisfied with the results, 50% of those with preoperative hallux valgus angles greater than or equal to 50 degrees had postoperative hallux valgus angle greater than or equal to 20 degrees. In these patients, correction of metatarsus primus varus was good, but correction of valgus deviation of the hallux was fair. Mean correction toward plantar flexion was 1.5 degrees and no increase in arch height was achieved. Conclusion: The proximal spherical osteotomy could consistently achieve satisfactory results for the patients with hallux valgus angles less than 50 degrees. However, the corrections were worse in feet with more severe deformities. Furthermore, plantarflexion at the osteotomy site was offset by displacement at the first tarsometatarsal joint. If plantarflexion is indispensable, arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal joint is recommended. Level of Evidence: IV, Retrospective Case Series

Severe Hallux Valgus

Introduction: Hallux valgus is a multifactorial disease, and heredity is the main associated factor. Pain and discomfort when using closed-toed shoes occur in many cases, adversely affecting quality of life. Surgical treatment is indicated when pain and disability persist after conservative treatment. Currently, more than 150 surgical techniques are described for hallux valgus correction, with no consensus regarding the best treatment. With the advent of minimally invasive techniques for hallux valgus correction, Vernois developed the percutaneous chevron osteotomy. This technique allows up to 100% lateral translation of the contact area of the osteotomy. Objective: the objective of the present study was to assess the correction of radiographic parameters, clinical improvement and potential complications of the first 30 cases of moderate and severe hallux valgus operated on at our hospital using the percutaneous chevron technique. Methods: A total of 26 patients (30 feet) underwent surgery. The following parameters were measured in the pre- and postoperative periods: the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) angle, the intermetatarsal angle between the 1st and 2nd metatarsals (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) and the pre- and postoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.3 years. During the preoperative period, the mean AOFAS score was 45.6; it increased to 90.3 after the procedure, indicating a statistically significant improvement. The mean MTP angle, IMA and DMAA were 29.7°, 14.2° and 14.2° before surgery and 12.8°, 8.2° and 11.1° after surgery, respectively. The improvements in the MTP angle and the IMA were also significant. There was no decrease in angles or worsening of AOFAS scores during follow-up. Conclusion: The percutaneous chevron technique was safe and effective for correcting cases of moderate and severe hallux valgus, with significant improvements in clinical and radiological parameters and a low rate of postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to present an analysis of progression of the quality of life and pain in patients undergoing surgical treatment of LSS and the potential correlations between individual factors and the clinical outcome observed. Methods: We studied 111 patients undergoing surgical treatment of LSS from January 2009 to December 2011 using the functional capacity (ODI) and pain (VAS) questionnaires. The preoperative data were compared statistically with the results obtained during the postoperative follow-up at one month, six months, one year, and two years. Results: The population consisted of 60 men and 51 women. The mean age was 61.16 years at the time of surgery, 33.33% were 60 years or older. When the questionnaires were applied, we found improvement in the progressive disability assessment with a mean drop of 23.65 ODI points after 6 months of the surgical treatment and 27.47 at the end of one year of surgery compared to preoperative for this scale. There was a decline of 3.84 points (mean) in the VAS at first postoperative month. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of LSS presented favorable postoperative evolution in a 2-year follow-up regarding pain and quality of life through VAS and ODI. Level of Evidence IV; Case series.

Background: Few studies have reported results of minimally invasive chevron Akin osteotomy (MICA) for moderate to severe hallux valgus correction. This study aims to evaluate MICA for moderate to severe hallux valgus radiographically and clinically. Methods: Forty feet were prospectively reviewed. Twenty-eight feet (70%) had a severe deformity (hallux valgus angle (HVA) ≥40° and/or first intermetatarsal angle (IMA) ≥18°). We measured HVA, IMA, lateral shape of the metatarsal head (round sign), tibial sesamoid position, first metatarsal shortening on anteroposterior weightbearing radiographs, and inclination angle of first metatarsal on lateral weightbearing radiographs. We evaluated the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot hallux scale and Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire responses preoperatively and at the most recent follow-up. Results: All measurements except shortening and inclination angle improved significantly. Both clinical scale and all subscores significantly improved. Conclusions: MICA improved moderate to severe hallux valgus both radiographically and clinically. Level of Evidence: Level IV: case series

Background: The aim of this study was to assess radiographic and clinical outcomes after double osteotomy with proximal opening wedge first metatarsal osteotomy and first metatarsal distal chevron osteotomy in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus. Methods: 33 patients (4 male, 29 female; 36 feet; average age 60.7 years) were included in the study. Radiographic and clinical outcome in terms of intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal hallux score (AOFAS MTP-IP hallux score) were investigated at 6 weeks, 6 months, and after an average of 28 (range, 7-123) months postoperatively. Results: Preoperative IMA, HVA, and DMMA showed statistically significant improvement ( P ≤ .05) from 19.1 ± 3.8 (8.9-27.3) degrees, 45.4 ± 8.7 (25.9-60.9) degrees, and 20.8 ± 8.9 (4.5-38.0) degrees to 6.0 ± 3.3 (0.4-12.2) degrees, 9.1 ± 8.9 (–6.7 to 39.0) degrees, and 6.4 ± 5.6 (–6.8 to 21.0) degrees at last follow-up, respectively. Postoperative AOFAS MTP-IP hallux score averaged 88.1 points. Overall, 10 complications were observed: hallux varus (3 feet), hallux valgus recurrence (3 feet), nonunion (1 foot), loss of fixation (1 foot), and wound infection (2 feet). Conclusion: Proximal opening wedge first metatarsal osteotomy with distal chevron osteotomy provided powerful correction of each component of moderate to severe hallux valgus but had a substantial rate of complications in terms of over- and undercorrection, nonunion, loss of fixation, and wound infection. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
