Comparison of open lateral release and transarticular lateral release in distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus correction

[Percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy for the correction of hallux valgus].

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the experience acquired in hallux valgus correction with percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study including patients who underwent percutaneous distal metatarsal osteotomy between May 2005 and May 2007. The age, sex, and number of feet operated on were recorded. The clinical evaluation of results 6 months after surgery using the ...

Chevron osteotomy of the first metatarsal for hallux valgus.

A retrospective study of 50 chevron osteotomies evaluated subjective and objective functional and cosmetic results, which were in keeping with other reported studies--i.e. satisfactory subjective cosmesis in 98%; excellent or good pain relief in 84%; and satisfactory objective cosmesis in 84%. The correction of the 1st intermetatarsal angle averaged 3.3 degrees, and that of the metatarsophalang...

The Mitchell distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus.

Seventy-two Mitchell distal metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus performed over a period of 10 years have been reviewed. Sixty-six (92 per cent) were graded as excellent or good. Retrospective radiographic analysis of 29 of these cases showed that the operation had reduced the intermetatarsal angles to within normal anatomical limits. No patient experienced a worsening of symptoms as a resu...

Chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus--SGH experience.

Thirty-one chevron osteotomies for hallux valgus performed over a period of four years were reviewed. Their follow-up period ranged from one to five years. All the patients had pain over the bunion prior to operation. After operation, there was marked decrease of pain over the first matatarsophalangeal joint. The preoperative hallux valgus angle average 27 degrees and the postoperative angle av...
