ABSTRACT Splay foot is a common foot deformity causing pain and disability. Various osteotomy techniques have been recommended for correction of the intermetatarsal angle, with variable success rates. Knowing that wire and button fixation device can provide strong and stiff repair, the aim of the present study was to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes following 1st and 2nd metatarsal wire and button fixation with 1st and 5th bunionectomies in patients with symptomatic splay foot. The preoperative and postoperative radiological measurements and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores were statistically assessed in 12 patients (19 feet) with symptomatic splay foot using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The postoperative hallux valgus angle, 1st and 2nd intermetatarsal angle, and maximum distance between 1st and 5th metatarsal heads decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The AOFAS score improved significantly from 49.0 ± 6.0 to 82.0 ± 5.0 points (p < 0.05). The overall postoperative radiological and clinical outcomes in patients with symptomatic splay foot suggest that the technique of 1st and 2nd metatarsal wire and button fixation with 1st and 5th bunionectomies is safe, feasible and effective for surgical treatment of splay foot deformity.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: In hallux valgus deformity less weight can be borne by the first ray which may lead to transfer metatarsalgia and lesser toe deformities. Depending on the exact configuration of the bone cuts during the scarf procedure, an iatrogenic shortening of the first metatarsal may occur which may diminish weightbearing ability of the first ray as well, causing transfer metatarsalgia. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine preoperative and postoperative changes in length of the first metatarsal by using different methods of measuring metatarsal length. Methods: A consecutive series of 118 feet in 106 patients (89% female, 11% male) was enrolled, who underwent correctional osteotomy (Scarf-with/without Akin-Osteotomy) from May 2015 to July 2017 at a single institution. Patients, who underwent additional shortening osteotomy of the metatarsals, were excluded. Average age at the time of surgery was 51 years (range, 14 to 83 years). Pre- and postoperative angle measurement of hallux valgus- and intermetatarsal angle was assessed at between six weeks and three months postoperatively on standardized weight-bearing radiographs in dorsoplantar plane. We also identified early complications in hallux valgus surgery. An assessment and comparison of different methods of measuring metatarsal length (length of first metatarsal, ratio first to second metatarsal, Coughlin method) postoperatively was performed to identify the amount of shortening with this technique. Results: Hallux valgus angle was statistically significant reduced by an average of 18.6° (28.3° preoperatively to 9.7° postoperatively, p < 0.001), intermetatarsal angle by 7.7° (12.8° to 5.1°, p < 0.001). Measuring the length of the first metatarsal, in all three methods a statistically significant reduction of the first metatarsal length could be detected. Mean absolute shortening of 1.8 mm was measured (p < 0.001). The ratio of the first metatarsal to the second metatarsal averaged -0.03 (p = 0.02). The mean relative lengthening of the second metatarsal, using the method described by Coughlin, was 0.42 mm (from 4.51 to 4.89 mm, p < 0.001) on average. Of those three methods, the Coughlin method showed the highest correlation. 6 minor complications were observed (5%). Conclusion: In the current study we could demonstrate a significant reduction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle with hallux valgus correction using Scarf-/Akin-Osteotomy, with a low complication rate. However, statistically significant shortening of the first metatarsal could be detected as well. Further research is required to improve and establish a hallux valgus correction technique without shortening of the first metatarsal.

Abstract Objective. To study the correlative between the sesamoid bones under the head of the first metatarsal and the development of hallux valgus determined with radiographs.Methods.The measurements were performed on the X-ray of 300 normal feet and 300 cases of hallux valgus. The following parameters were measured: hallux valgus angle(HVA); the first-second intermetatarsal angle(IMA) between the axes of the first and second metatarsal;the length of the second metatarsal（CD）;the position of tibial sesamoid(TSP ) measured the percent formed between the tibial sesamoid and the centreline of the first metatarsal;the position of fibular sesamoid(FSP) measured tangent value between fibular sesamoid bone and lateral cortex of first metatarsal bone ; the absolute distances (AB) from the centre of the tibial sesamoid to the long axis of the second metatarsal, the absolute distances (EF) from the centre of the fibular sesamoid to the long axis of the second metatarsal and the absolute distance (GH) from the centre of the tibial sesamoid to the centre of the fibular sesamoid. Then calculate the ratio of AB to CD (K1), EF to CD (K2) and GH to CD (K3). Results.HVA moderately positively correlates with TSP and moderately negatively correlates with FSP in subjects with HVA ≥ 20°. HVA and FSP are strongly negatively correlated in the hallux valgus group. Conclusion.The dislocation of sesamoid bone under the first metatarsal head is an important pathological factor leading to valgus. HVA is positively correlated with TSP and negatively correlated with FSP.

Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity with a multifactorial etiology. Factors associated with the development of hallux valgus (HV) are multifactorial and the etiology of hallux valgus remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to measure the biomechanical relationship between Hallux Valgus Angle (HVA), intermetatarsal Angle (IMA), Interphalangeal Angle (IPA), and metatarsal horizontal angle, in order to reveal the tendency of metatarsal horizontal angle along with hallux valgus angle increasing. Foot models of nine subjects are built through CT scan and editing software and calculated metatarsal horizontal angles using motion analysis system. It showed that with the increased of HVA, the metatarsal horizontal angle of the first to fifth was decreased. This method and results maybe have a new sight to reveal the characters of HV patients.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: The surgical treatment of hallux valgus with severe metatarsus adductus deformity can be challenging. This study aims to investigate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis in treating this complex deformity. Methods: Between Jun 2009 and Jun 2015, 15 consecutive cases of hallux valgus with severe metatarsus adductus [metatarsus adductus angle, MAA>25°(modified Sgarlato method)] received first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis for correction with a dorsal plate and a lag screw. The clinical outcome of these patients (average age of 63.1 years) was evaluated by means of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Hallux MTP-IP Scale and ankle pain on the visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiological imaging included hallux valgus angle (HVA) and 1st intermetatarsal angle (IMA). Results: All these 15 patients were available for follow-up at a mean of 12.7 months. The average postoperative AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP Scale 12 months after surgery was 88.6 (compare with 60.8 preoperatively). The mean visual analog scale score decreased from 5.51 ± 1.53 preoperatively to 0.98 ± 0.98 at the latest follow-up. All the metatarsophalangeal joints got complete fused without delayed fusion. The HVA improved from 45.2°preoperatively in average to 17.3°postoperatively. No deformity recurrence was observed by the time of the latest follow-up. Conclusion: First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis is a simple, reasonable and reliable option for the treatment of hallux valgus with severe metatarsus adductus deformity, especially for elderly patients with degenerated symptomatic metatarsophalangeal joint.

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.

Severe Hallux Valgus

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.

Hypermobility of the first metatarsal cuneiform joint has been implicated as a cause of the hallux valgus deformity. The objective definition of hypermobility at this joint, however, has not been clearly defined. We used a modified Coleman block test to accentuate motion at the first metatarsal cuneiform joint in order to measure physiologic limits of motion in vivo. This motion was compared with radiographic analysis of the feet, which included the hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and medial cortical thickening at the midshaft of the second metatarsal. This assessment was performed on 100 feet (50 right feet and 50 left feet in 50 patients). The average intermetatarsal angle was 8.7° (range, 4–14°), the average hallux valgus angle was 11° (range, 4° of varus to 30° of valgus), and the average midshaft medial cortical thickness was 3.2 mm (range, 2.0–5.5 mm). Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to compare these factors. The relationship between variables was found to be small ( r ≤ 0.2). Motion was noted to occur in the normal foot at this joint and a range of normal values for medial cortical thickness was identified.

AbstractHallux valgus (HV) is a foot deformity that can be treated with Chevron osteotomy, and a modified plantarward oblique osteotomy has been proposed in recent years. However, no research has focused on the correctional power of the osteotomy. The aim of this study was to examine the character of this plantarward oblique Chevron osteotomy (POCO) and to determine the rationale of this method.Radiographs and clinical data from 65 HV patients (77 feet) with painful callosities were evaluated. The intermetatarsal angle, hallux valgus angle, and relative height of the second metatarsal were measured, and a valid width of the first metatarsal was proposed. A visual analogue scale (VAS) and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux-metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal scale (AOFAS) were used to evaluate the patients’ clinical results.There were significant differences in the HVA and IMA. The decline in the height of the second metatarsal was positively related to the decline in the height of the first metatarsal, but the changes were smaller for the first metatarsal. Painful callosities disappeared in 77 feet, 4 (5.1%) patients had no pain but a remaining plantar callosity, and 2 (2.6%) patient had relieved pain with a plantar callosity after follow-up. The VAS scores improved from 8.58 ± 0.50 to 1.96 ± 0.75 points after the operation (p < 0.001). Significant differences were demonstrated in the AOFAS scores (65.81 ± 4.05 vs 87.88 ± 3.41, p < 0.001). The modified POCO prevents the dorsal migration of the metatarsal head, preserves other lesser metatarsals and provides an opportunity for patients who may possibly need additional future deformity correction. Therefore, POCO is a safe and effective method to treat hallux valgus and offers the superior potential benefits of correction and transfer metatarsalgia.

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.

Background: Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint with a low profile fixed angle plate allows for a consistent resultant hallux valgus angle. There is no clear consensus on whether a separate corrective osteotomy of the first metatarsal should be performed in addition to the first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion in patients with an increased intermetatarsal angle. We quantified the amount of correction of the intermetatarsal angle as well as the position of the tibial sesamoid in this group of patients following fusion of the first MTP joint. Materials and Methods: A consecutive cohort of 69 feet (13 bilateral) who underwent a standard primary fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint using a dorsal approach between May 2006 and January 2008 were reviewed. Radiological measurements were taken from 6-week postoperative weightbearing radiographs and included the hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle as well as the position of the tibial sesamoid in accordance to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society guidelines. Results: Postoperatively, there was an improvement in the hallux valgus angle from 33.0 degrees to 10.4 degrees ( p < 0.001). The mean intermetatarsal angle also improved from 13.1 degrees preoperatively to 8.6 postoperatively ( p < 0.001). The position of the tibial sesamoid generally improved by at least one grade (Spearman's r = 0.74). There was a strong correlation ( r = 0.77, p < 0.001) between the preoperative intermetatarsal angle and the postoperative intermetatarsal angle. Conclusion: Both the intermetatarsal angle and position of the tibial sesamoid reliably improved following arthrodesis of the first MTP joint, negating the need for a separate osteotomy of the first metatarsal.
