Stability of the First Metatarsal Base Wedge Osteotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Base wedge osteotomies are a wellestablished surgical indication for patients presenting with hallux valgus deformities. Proximal osteotomies are indicated for severe deformities in cases when the intermetatarsal angle is greater than 15 degrees (Landsman and Vogel, 1992). Numerous base wedge procedures have been identified to correct hallux valgus deformity, all requiring internal fixation.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of proximal opening wedge osteotomy using a straight versus oblique osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 104 consecutive first metatarsal proximal opening wedge osteotomies performed in 95 patients with hallux valgus deformity.

متن کاملSurgical strategies: Ludloff first metatarsal osteotomy.
Moderate to severe hallux valgus deformities associated with a wide first intermetatarsal angle require a first metatarsal osteotomy for adequate correction. A variety of procedures have been introduced such as the crescentic, chevron, scarf, closing or opening wedge osteotomies of the first metatarsal base, and the Ludloff and Mau procedures.7,8,10,15,16,17,24,27 Recently the Ludloff osteotomy...
متن کاملCombined double tarsal wedge osteotomy and transcuneiform osteotomy for correction of resistant clubfoot deformity (the “bean-shaped” foot)
PURPOSE The "bean-shaped foot" exhibits forefoot adduction and midfoot supination, which interfere with function because of poor foot placement. The purpose of the study is a retrospective evaluation of patients who underwent a combined double tarsal wedge osteotomy and transcuneiform osteotomy to correct such a deformity. METHODS Twenty-seven children with 35 idiopathic clubfeet were treated...
متن کاملA Simple Method for Fixation of Proximal Opening-Wedge Osteotomy of the First Metatarsal for Correction of Hallux Valgus.
A simple, inexpensive technique for fixation of proximal opening-wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal for correction of moderate or severe hallux valgus (HV) is described. After the opening-wedge osteotomy and bone grafting of the first metatarsal have been performed, 2 Kirschner wires are introduced for internal fixation and removed 8 weeks postoperatively. Twenty-three patients with sympto...
متن کاملKeller's arthroplasty with proximal metatarsal opening wedge osteotomy in treating severe Hallux valgus deformity--surgical techniques and case report.
The paper presents an operative technique proposed for treating severe Hallux Valgus deformity with arthrosis of the first metatarsal joint in elderly people. The procedure consists of the Keller's arthroplasty in combination with basal osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone, whereby the head of the metatarsal is displaced laterally and plantarward. The osteotomy is fixed with a reconstructive ...
