Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a deformity that affects the quality of life and function in a negative manner causing disturbed balance and walking and even alters the foot kinematics. Conservative treatments are the choice for mild to moderate HV, but the question about the best method has not been responded yet. In the current study, it is aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of kinesiotaping (KT) versus phonophoresis (PH) for the treatment of painful HV. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial has been conducted on a total number of 37 toes (37 toes of a total number of 24 patients) randomly divided into two subgroups of either KT or PH with 1% hydrocortisone among which the total numbers of 31 toes from 20 patients fulfilled the study protocol. The variables including pain (using VAS score), function (using Manchester-Oxford Foot questionnaire)(MOXFD), hallux valgus angle (HVA), and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) were assessed and compared between two groups before and after two months following the interventions. Results: The pain score decreased significantly within the time in both groups (P-value<0.001), while the comparison of KT with PH revealed insignificant difference (P-value=0.08). MOXFD assessments showed significantly improved status within two months for both interventions (P-value<0.001) with no remarkable difference between the groups (P-value=0.55). The IMA and HVA altered following both of the techniques. KT was superior to PH for the correction of HVA, but not for IMA (P-value>0.05). Conclusion: We found both of the KT and PH techniques could successfully rehabilitate the patients’ pain and improve function, however the KT was slightly better than PH due to HVA reduction.

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: Hallux valgus treatment in the setting of associated metatarsus adductus is less common and not well described. The presence of metatarsus adductus reduces the gap between the first and second metatarsals. Consequently, it complicates the measurement of the first-second intermetatarsal angle and can limit the area available for transposition of the first metatarsal head. If distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is also increased here, it is difficult to correct. We investigated the effects of rotational distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy (DCMO) on hallux valgus associated with metatarsus adductus and increased DMAA. Methods: Twelve patients, (12 female, 15 feet), of average age 59 (SD 23) with symptomatic hallux valgus associated with metatarsus adductus and increased DMAA underwent a rotation DCMO and were reviewed at an average of 12 months postoperatively. Clinically preoperative and postoperative AOFAS hallux MP-IP scale and satisfaction after the surgery were analyzed. Radiologically hallux valgus angle, the 1st intermetatarsal angle, DMAA before and after the operation was analyzed. Results: Distal Chevron osteotomy was done in 15 cases. After DCMO, The distal fragment was translated to laterally as far as possible and rotated to reduce DMAA. Clinically AOFAS scale was increased from 65.3 points preoperatively to 92.2 points postoperatively. Two patients were not satisfied with the results. Radiologically hallux valgus angle was decreased from 21.8° preoperatively to 8.5° postoperatively. The first intermetatarsal angle was decreased from 11.8° preoperatively to 6.7° postoperatively. DMAA was decreased from 15.8° preoperatively to 5.5° postoperatively. Conclusion: The rotational DCMO was an effective procedure for correcting hallux valgus associated with metatarsus adductus and increased DMAA. It allowed good realignment of the first MTP joint without the need for lesser metatarsal surgery to reduce the metatarsus adductus.

Twenty-six patients with moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformities were evaluated before and after treatment. All of the patients had incongruent great toe joints. The patients underwent modified proximal crescentic osteotomy, which was termed proximal oblique crescentic osteotomy. The results were evaluated at an average follow-up time of 55 weeks. Objective criteria were hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, shortening of the first metatarsal, and angulation at the osteotomy site. Clinical evaluation was made according to the rating system of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. The mean correction of the hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles was 22.1° and 9.9°, respectively. Short-term results indicate that proximal oblique crescentic osteotomy is effective in the treatment of hallux valgus; its advantages over other procedures include its technical ease and low rate of complications.

Objective: The present study was conducted to clinically and radiographically analyze the outcomes of the surgical treatment of mild and moderate hallux valgus using the modified Reverdin-Isham technique. Methods: We retrospectively studied 46 feet of 39 patients with mild and moderate hallux valgus from June 2010 to July 2017. The mean postoperative follow-up was 36 months, and the mean patient age was 53 years. All patients who underwent the modified Reverdin-Isham technique were clinically and radiologically evaluated before and after surgery using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale, and radiographs were acquired to calculate the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). Results: The AOFAS score increased by a mean of 54 points. Radiologically, the mean HVA decreased by an average of 17.1°, the IMA by 4.2° and the DMAA by 12°. Conclusion: The modified percutaneous Reverdim-Isham technique made it possible to correct mild and moderate hallux valgus deformities with good angular correction and increased stability compared with the classical technique, in addition to providing an increase in the AOFAS score.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) adversely affects quality of life. Patients frequently express concerns regarding postoperative foot appearance, foot width and footwear anticipations. However, only scarce data are available regarding postoperative foot width. Materials and Methods: Seventy-one cases with moderate to severe HV treated with scarf osteotomy were included. The average age was 55.7 years (range, 20-76), with average follow-up of 20.7 months (range, 6-96). Patients’ medical records were reviewed for demographic, operative, and radiographic data. Foot width was assessed radiographically by measuring both bone (distance between the first and fifth metatarsal heads) and soft tissue width (maximal distance of the soft tissue outline). Results: Preoperative HV deformity (mean hallux valgus angle [HVA] 35.8 degrees, intermetatarsal angle [IMA] 14.1 degrees, and distal metatarsal articular angle [DMAA] 15.2 degrees) was successfully corrected (postoperative mean HVA 13.7 degrees, IMA 6.9 degrees, and DMAA 7.7 degrees). Overall bony foot width was reduced by 5% and soft tissue foot width by 2%. Further analysis showed that 13 feet (18.3%) had increased (>5%) bone width, 26 feet (36.6%) with no change (±5%), and 32 feet (45.1%) for which the width decreased (>5%) postoperatively. Angular deformity (HVA, IMA, and DMAA) showed low correlation with postsurgery foot width. Conclusion: HV surgery effect on foot width was very limited, overall reducing foot width by 2%. Furthermore, in only about half of the patients, the postoperative foot width decreased, regardless of angular deformity magnitude. Patients with the widest feet had a decrease in foot width following surgery, whereas patients with the narrowest feet had an increase in foot width. Level of Evidence: Level III, comparative series.

Background: Hypermobility of the first ray has been evaluated using various methods and has conventionally been considered to be involved in the pathology of hallux valgus. We hypothesized that hypermobility of the first ray in hallux valgus could be decreased by simply correcting foot alignment without arthrodesis. This study sought to evaluate first-ray mobility using weightbearing computed tomography (CT) before and after proximal oblique osteotomy and also in healthy volunteer’s feet. Methods: Subjects were 11 feet of 11 patients with primary hallux valgus who underwent surgery with a plantarly applied anatomic precontoured locking plate and 22 feet of 11 matched healthy volunteers. We performed nonweightbearing and weightbearing (using a load equivalent to body weight) CT scans using an original loading device preoperatively and 1-1.5 years postoperatively. Three-dimensional displacement of the distal bone relative to the proximal bone was quantified for each joint of the first ray by comparing nonweightbearing and weightbearing CT images. Results: At baseline, there were significant differences in hallux valgus angle ( P < .001) and 1-2 intermetatarsal angle ( P < .001) between healthy volunteer’s feet and preoperative hallux valgus feet. Hallux valgus angle ( P < .001) and 1-2 intermetatarsal angle ( P < .001) differed significantly between before and after surgery. All first ray joint displacement under loading decreased postoperatively to within 2° of that in healthy volunteer’s feet and showed no significant difference between postoperatively hallux valgus feet and healthy volunteer’s feet ( P > .05). Conclusions: We found that first metatarsal osteotomy even without arthrodesis corrected deformity and decreased mobility of the first ray after hallux valgus surgery. Level of Evidence: Level III, case-control study.

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of wearing an insole with toe separator and night splint on hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles and also on the intensity of pain in patients suffering from painful hallux valgus deformity. Subjects in this study consisted of 30 female patients aged 19 – 45 years (mean 27.83 ± 8.91) who were divided into two groups. The first group received the insole and toe separator and the second group received night splint. Hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle were radiographically measured before and after a 3-month study period. Foot pain intensity was assessed by 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale before and after intervention. After statistical analysis the reduction of pain was significant in the first group ( p < 0.05) whereas in the second group no significant difference was obtained. The hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle decreased in both groups; however, the reduction was not significant. According to the results of this study, using night splint seems to have no effect on painful hallux valgus deformity. On the other hand, although the insole with toe separator significantly decreased the pain intensity in these patients and was a good option for pain reduction, it was not effective in improvement of the great toe angles.

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.
