Purpose of review The treatment of hallux valgus is dependent on multiple factors from clinical examination, patient considerations, radiographic assessment, and surgeon preference. Numerous techniques have been described to address this common disorder. The purpose of this paper is to provide an updated review of the surgical treatment of hallux valgus. Recent findings Operative management of ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal is indicated for the surgical treatment of mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of a subcapital distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal with use of a percutaneous technique. METHODS From 1996 to 2001, 118 consecutive percutaneous distal osteotomies of the first metatarsal were performed...

Background: many surgical procedures were described for correction of hallux valgus and the type of operation is based upon; foot length, width and redressibility of the transverse arch, hallux valgus evaluation of possibility of its passive redression and radiographic examination of foot. Aim of the work: To evaluate the results of hallux valgus surgery combining the distal soft tissue reconst...

Discussion about the treatment of hallux valgus is largely confined to the merits of various operations on the big toe itself, and the problem of associated metatarsalgia is given rather less detailed consideration. Metatarsalgia and secondary deformities of the lesser toes are common in association with hallux valgus. Bonney and Macnab (1952) recorded metatarsalgia in 45 per cent of the cases ...

A prospective study was performed on 24 patients to evaluate the early results of our experience with minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy to treat mild-to-moderate hallux valgus deformities in adults. After failure of conservative treatment and persistence of footwear-related pain, a percutaneous distal first metatarsal osteotomy was performed, stabilized by a Kirschner wire, followe...

Objective: Presentation of clinical and radiological outcome of a case series of scarf osteotomy. Patients and Methods: The study involved 20 patients with 24 feet affected with symptomatic moderate to severe hallux valgus. Clinical assessment was done using American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Radiological assessment utilized measurement of hallux valgus angle (HVA), inter...

We reviewed the outcome of distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy without tendon transfer in 19 consecutive patients (19 feet) with a hallux varus deformity following surgery for hallux valgus. All patients underwent distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy with medial displacement and a medial closing wedge osteotomy along with a medial capsular release. The mean hallux valgus angle improved from -11....
