Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hallux valgus deformity severity is one determent for the surgical procedure for hallux valgus (HV) correction. HV deformities are usually classified into mild/moderate/severe. The aim was to investigate the cut-off criteria used to classify HV deformity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on a previous living systematic review. Four common databases were searched for the last decade. All review-steps were conducted by two reviewers. Data assessed were the individual cut-off values used to classify HV deformity into mild/moderate/severe, and the referenced classification systems. RESULTS 46 studies were included. 21/18 studies grade deformity based on the intermetatarsal angle (IMA)/ hallux valgus angle (HVA) with great heterogeneity throughout the different cut-off values. The most referenced classification systems were the Coughlin and Mann's and the Robinson classification. CONCLUSIONS The currently used classification systems are heterogenic, and no standard could be defined. The community should define a uniform classification system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, systematic review of randomized controlled trials and prospective comparative studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION More than 100 surgical techniques are described for hallux valgus (HV) correction, but the most appropriate technique remains debatable. The aim of this study was to develop and conduct a "living systematic review" for the outcome of surgically treated HV. MATERIALS AND METHODS The "living systematic review" was conducted per the PRISMA-P and PICOS guidelines and is the basis for the German AWMF S2e guideline "Hallux valgus" (033-018). Four common databases and the grey-literature were searched. Eligible were studies on adult patients comparing either two different primary surgical interventions or the same primary surgical intervention for different hallux valgus severities. The main outcome parameters were the osseous correction potential and the patient rated outcome. RESULTS Out of 3022 studies, 46 studies (100 arms) were included. The meta-analysis included 31 studies (53 arms). The IMA (1933 procedures) improved on average by 7.3°, without significant group differences. The HVA (1883 procedures) improved on average by 18.9°, with significantly better results for third generation MIS (21.2°). The AOFAS (1338 procedures) improved on average by 33.8 points without significant group differences. The meta-regression revealed constant AOFAS scores over time. 69%/39% of the correction potential for the IMA/HVA could be explained by the preoperative values and 82% of the AOFAS improvement by the preoperative AOFAS scores. CONCLUSION Open and minimally invasive techniques are powerful tools to correct hallux valgus deformity. Third generation MIS procedures revealed a possible superiority for the correction of the HVA. The AOFAS improvement appeared to be constant over time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I; living systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective comparative studies (level II) and randomized controlled trials (level I).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess the outcome following orthopedic surgery. But, we are lacking a standard set of PROMs to assess the outcome of hallux valgus surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the chosen patient rated outcome scores used in studies reporting on hallux valgus surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on a previously published living systematic review. Included were prospective, comparative studies of different surgical procedures or the same procedure for different degrees of deformity. Four common databases were searched for the last decade. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were made by two independent reviewers. Data assessed were the individual PROMs used to assess the outcome of hallux valgus surgery. RESULTS 46 studies (30 RCTs and 16 non-randomized prospective studies) met the inclusion criteria. The most commonly used clinical outcome measures were the AOFAS (55%) and the VAS (30%). No differences were found between frequency of the individual scores per the level of evidence or the type of osteotomy. CONCLUSION Based on a systematic literature review, the AOFAS and VAS are the most frequently used outcome tools in studies assessing the outcome following hallux valgus surgery. Based on the literature available, the MOXFQ is a more valid alternative. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I; systematic review of prospective comparative (level II) and randomized controlled trials (level I).

Foot (Edinb) 2024; 61:102130. [PMID: 39255572 DOI: 10.1016/j.foot.2024.102130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 08/27/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
The Scarf osteotomy involves inherent risks and technical challenges. The short scarf osteotomy with single screw fixation has emerged as an alternative approach. This study aims to evaluate the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiological outcomes, and complications associated with the short scarf osteotomy fixed with a single screw for hallux valgus correction. A prospective cohort study was conducted between October 2018 and October 2023 at a single center, encompassing 271 osteotomies. PROMs were collected prospectively preoperatively and at various postoperative intervals. Radiographic data, including hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA), were measured preoperatively and six weeks postoperatively. Complications were also documented. Statistically significant improvements were observed in all PROMs and were sustained up to 24 months postoperatively. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score demonstrated a significant reduction from 46.97 at baseline to 12.52 at 24 months (p < 0.001). Likewise, the EQ-5D score improved notably from 0.73 preoperatively to 0.81 at 24 months (p = 0.002). Analysis of the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) revealed substantial improvements across its pain, walking/standing, and social interaction domains over the same period, with all changes showing statistical significance (all p < 0.001). Radiographically, the mean HVA improved significantly from 31.33° preoperatively to 13.33° postoperatively (p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean IMA improved significantly from 14.67° to 7.66° (p < 0.001). The most common complication was superficial wound infection, effectively managed with oral antibiotics. The were no cases of avascular necrosis or fracture. In conclusion, the short Scarf osteotomy fixed with a single screw demonstrates favorable outcomes. These findings support its efficacy and safety as a treatment option, with potential advantages over the conventional technique. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux valgus (lateral angulation of the great toe towards the lesser toes, commonly known as bunions) presents in 23% to 35% of the population. This condition leads to poor balance and increases the risk of falling, adding to the difficulty in fitting into shoes and pain. Conservative (non-surgical) interventions treating pain rather than curing deformity are usually first-line treatments. When surgery is indicated, the overall best surgical procedure is an ever-evolving topic of discussion. OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and harms of different types of surgery compared with placebo or sham surgery, no treatment, non-surgical treatments and other surgical interventions for adults with hallux valgus. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and trial registries to 20 April 2023. We did not apply any language or publication restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials evaluating surgical interventions for treating hallux valgus compared to placebo surgery or sham surgery, no treatment, non-surgical treatment or other surgical interventions. The major outcomes were pain, function, quality of life, participant global assessment of treatment success, reoperation (treatment failure), adverse events and serious adverse events. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected studies for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias and the certainty of evidence using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included 25 studies involving 1597 participants with hallux valgus. All studies included adults and most were women. One study compared surgery (V-shaped osteotomy) with no treatment and with non-surgical treatment. Fifteen studies compared different surgical techniques, including a V-shaped osteotomy (Chevron osteotomy), to other types of osteotomy. Nine studies compared different simple osteotomy techniques to each other or to a mid-shaft Z-shaped osteotomy (Scarf osteotomy). Most trials were susceptible to bias: in particular, selection (80%), performance (88%), detection (96%) and selective reporting (64%) biases. Surgery versus no treatment Surgery may result in a clinically important reduction in pain. At 12 months, mean pain was 39 points (0 to 100 visual analogue scale, 100 = worst pain) in the no treatment group and 21 points in the surgery group (mean difference (MD) -18.00, 95% confidence interval (CI) -26.14 to -9.86; 1 study, 140 participants; low-certainty evidence). Evidence was downgraded for bias due to lack of blinding and imprecision. Surgery may result in a slight increase in function. At 12 months, mean function was 66 points (0 to 100 American Orthopedics Foot and Ankle Scale (AOFAS), 100 = best function) in the no treatment group and 75 points in the surgery group (MD 9.00, 95% CI 5.16 to 12.84; 1 study, 140 participants; low-certainty evidence). Evidence was downgraded for bias due to lack of blinding and imprecision. Surgery may result in little to no difference in quality of life. At 12 months, mean quality of life (0 to 100 on 15-dimension scale, 100 = higher quality of life) was 93 points in both groups (MD 0, 95% CI -2.12 to 2.12; 1 study, 140 participants; low-certainty evidence). Evidence was downgraded for bias due to lack of blinding and imprecision. Surgery may result in a slight increase in participant global assessment of treatment success. At 12 months, mean participant global assessment of treatment success was 61 points (0 to 100 visual analogue scale, 100 = completely satisfied) in the no treatment group and 80 points in the surgery group (MD 19.00, 95% CI 8.11 to 29.89; 1 study, 140 participants; low-certainty evidence). Evidence was downgraded for bias due to lack of blinding and imprecision. Surgery may have little effect on reoperation (relative effect was not estimable), adverse events (risk ratio (RR) 8.75, 95% CI 0.48 to 159.53; 1 study, 140 participants; very low-certainty evidence), and serious adverse events (relative effect was not estimable), but we are uncertain. Surgery versus non-surgical treatment Surgery may result in a clinically important reduction in pain; a slight increase in function and participant global assessment of treatment success; and little to no difference in quality of life (1 study, 140 participants; low-certainty evidence). We are uncertain about the effect on reoperation, adverse events and serious adverse events (1 study, 140 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Complex versus simple osteotomies Complex osteotomies probably result in little to no difference in pain compared with simple osteotomies (7 studies, 414 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Complex osteotomies may increase reoperation (7 studies, 461 participants; low-certainty evidence), and may result in little to no difference in participant global assessment of treatment success (8 studies, 462 participants; low-certainty evidence) and serious adverse events (12 studies; data not pooled; low-certainty evidence). We are uncertain about the effect of complex osteotomies on function and adverse events (very low-certainty evidence). No study reported quality of life. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There were no trials comparing surgery to placebo or sham. Surgery may result in a clinically important reduction in pain when compared to no treatment or non-surgical treatment. Surgery may also result in a slight increase in function and participant global assessment of treatment success compared to no treatment or non-surgical treatment. There may be little to no difference in quality of life between surgery and no treatment or non-surgical treatment. We are uncertain about the effect of surgery on reoperation (treatment failure), adverse events or serious adverse events, when compared to no treatment or non-surgical treatment. Complex and simple osteotomies demonstrated similar results for pain. Complex osteotomies may increase reoperation (treatment failure) and may result in little to no difference in participant global assessment of treatment success and serious adverse events compared to simple osteotomies. We are uncertain about the effect of complex osteotomies on function, quality of life and adverse events.

Investigation on the site of coronal deformities in Hallux valgus. Sci Rep 2023; 13:1815.

Abstract
Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity that is more prevalent in females, characterised by abnormal adduction of the first metatarsal (MT) and valgus deviation of the phalanx on the transverse plane. Increasing evidence indicates that HV is more than a 2D deformity but a 3D one with rotational malalignment. Pronation deformity is seen during clinical examination for HV patients, but the exact origin of this rotational deformity is still unknown. Some attribute it to first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint rotation, while others attribute it to intra-metatarsal bony torsion. In addition, the correlation between the rotational and transverse plane deformity is inconclusive. Identifying the origin of the rotational deformity will help surgeons choose the optimal surgical procedure while also enhancing our understanding of the pathophysiology of HV. This study aims to (1) develop an objective method for measuring the first MT torsion and first TMT joint rotation; (2) investigate the exact location of the coronal deformity in HV; (3) investigate the relationship between the severity of deformity on the transverse and coronal planes as well as the correlation between deformity severity and foot function/symptoms in HV. Age-matched females with and without HV were recruited at the Foot and Ankle Clinic of the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. Computed tomography was conducted for all subjects with additional weight-bearing dorsal-plantar X-ray examination for HV subjects. Demographic information of all subjects was recorded, with symptoms and functions related to HV evaluated. The intra-class correlation was used to explore the relationship between deformities on different planes and the deformity severity and functional outcomes, respectively. An Independent t-test was used to compare joint rotation and bone torsion degrees. TMT joint rotation is significantly correlated with foot function. HV patients had more TMT joint rotation but not MT torsion compared to normal controls. No relationship was found between the coronal rotation and the 1,2-intermetatarsal angle (IMA) or Hallux valgus angle (HVA) on the transverse plane. Our results indicate that coronal deformities in HV may originate from TMT joint rotation. In addition, the severity of the TMT joint coronal rotation correlates with worse foot function; thus, multi-plane assessment and examination will be necessary for more precise surgical correction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Finite element (FE) analysis and clinical follow-up were used to evaluate the efficacy of modified scarf osteotomy for moderate-to-severe hallux valgus (HV). METHOD We retrospectively evaluated 42 patients (44 feet) who underwent modified rotational scarf osteotomy for moderate-to-severe HV at our institution between January 2010 and January 2019. Radiological indicators and subjective scores were recorded at different time points. To compare the results and elemental characteristics, a FE model of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint that included anatomically realistic geometrical and structural characteristics was built. The biomechanical features and correction differences in dynamic loads as well as the incidence of troughing were estimated. RESULTS Both the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) showed significant improvement 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05); additionally, the HVA increased from 6 weeks postoperatively to the last follow-up, while the IMA showed no significant changes (p > 0.05). The subjective scores significantly improved from the preoperative period to the last follow-up. The percentages of troughing and recurrence were remarkably low in our pilot study because of the innate stability of the modified rotated fixation. CONCLUSION Our preliminary findings suggest that modified rotational scarf osteotomy offers sufficient stability, correct HV deformity effectively, and good clinical outcomes for moderate to severe HV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity for which several corrective surgical procedures, with different osteotomy sites, have been reported. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review randomized (RCTs) or controlled (CCTs) clinical trials and perform meta-analysis on outcomes of different osteotomy sites of the first metatarsal. METHODS An extensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and the Cochrane Library from January 1983 to July 2020. Studies were identified using the terms "hallux valgus" and "osteotomy". We included RCTs or CCTs comparing different locations of osteotomy for the first metatarsal bone (distal vs. mid-shaft, distal vs. proximal, and mid-shaft vs. proximal). The surgical outcomes included postoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, pain visual analog scale (VAS) score, perioperative complications and recurrence of deformity. We enrolled 10 studies with a total of 793 feet in the qualitative synthesis following full-text screening. RESULTS A majority of patients included in the enrolled trials showed mild to moderate deformity, with mean HVA <40°. Out of the 10 enrolled studies; six compared distal osteotomies with mid-shaft osteotomies and showed no significant differences in the surgical outcomes between the scarf and chevron groups; three RCTs compared distal osteotomies with proximal osteotomies with conflicting results, one RCT showed the superiority of proximal osteotomy while the other two RCTs showed equivalent outcomes; one study that compared between mid-shaft and proximal osteotomies showed equivalent outcomes between the groups. CONCLUSION For the management of mild to moderate HV deformity, we found no significant clinical and radiological differences between patients treated with scarf and chevron osteotomies. Further controlled trials comparing different sites of osteotomies for moderate to severe HV deformity are needed.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:421. [PMID: 35513866 PMCID: PMC9069789 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05356-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy has been described for correcting hallux valgus deformity, the treatment efficacy of rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy for severe hallux valgus should be further studied. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy on severe hallux valgus. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of patients with hallux valgus who underwent surgery using rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy in our hospital between June 2014 and January 2020. The parameters evaluated include (1) the hallux valgus angle (HVA), (2) intermetatarsal angle (IMA), (3) distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), (4) tibial sesamoid position (TSP), (5) the length of first metatarsal bone and (6) ratio between the vertical distance from the lateral of the first metatarsal head to the medial of the second metatarsal head and the vertical distance of lateral of the second metatarsal head to the medial of the third metatarsal head (MT-I to II/II to III distance). A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain before and at the last follow-up after the operation. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Forefoot Score wasassessed before and at the last follow-up after the operation. Patient satisfaction assessment was also conducted at the time. RESULTS All radiological parameters including, HVA, IMA, DMAA and TSP,, significantly improved (p < 0.001). The length of the first metatarsal was shortened 3.1 mm on average. The MT-I to II/II to III distance was also reduced to 1.8 after surgery and 3.3 before surgery. The VAS score and AOFAS score was also statistically significant before operation and at the last follow-up after the operation (p < 0.001). Forty-one (82%) feet in patients were very satisfied or satisfied. CONCLUSION Rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy is demonstrated to be safe, effective, and feasible for correcting severe hallux valgus. It can obtain good long-term correction with a low incidence of recurrence and metatarsalgia. Postoperative satisfaction and functional recovery of patients are significantly improved. The MT-I to II/II to III distance, a new evaluation indicator, can be better evaluate the correction of hallux valgus.

[PMID: 35255406 DOI: 10.1016/j.foot.2021.101891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several osteotomies of the first metatarsal have been described for treatment of hallux valgus but chevron osteotomy is one of the most common and well-established procedure for treating this deformity. Although there is a trend towards considering bilateral surgery there is lack of publications addressing bilateral treatment in ambulatory units. The aim of this study is to analyze results of bilateral and unilateral distal chevron osteotomies associated with lateral soft tissue release as ambulatory procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was made about the patients treated at our ambulatory unit over a period of five years. Initially, general information as patient's satisfaction's rate and return to normal activity's time and evaluation of standardized follow-up charts and records made by the surgeon were recorded. Secondly, the hallux metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal scale developed by the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society was used. RESULTS A total of 194 patients with 230 feet operated were included in this study. We found 29 patients that didn't meet the inclusion criteria and were excluded. The unilateral group was composed by 139 feet and the bilateral group by 52 feet. The improvement between preoperative and discharge clinical and radiographic results was significant independently in both groups. A total of 14% of complications were found in our study, 19% in the unilateral group and 12% at the bilateral group. None of them required revision surgery. CONCLUSION Bilateral distal chevron osteotomies, associated with lateral soft tissue release, are safe and effective ambulatory procedures. It was found a satisfactory deformity correction in moderate HV. Both patients that underwent unilateral and bilateral procedures had similar clinical and radiological outcomes with no increase in complications or return to normal activity time. With this study it was demonstrated that bilateral chevron osteotomies can be performed as ambulatory procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most common supplementary techniques for hallux valgus (HV) surgery is proximal phalanx correction proposed by Akin. This study aims to determine the influence of the Akin procedure on the outcome of scarf osteotomy for HV correction. METHODS This prospective randomized study on 145 patients diagnosed with moderate to severe HV who underwent a scarf corrective osteotomy was carried out between 2011 and 2016. Patients were divided into two groups based on the additional Akin correction of the proximal phalanx. Postoperative follow-up was 2 years. The patients underwent an examination performed by two orthopedic surgeons twice-at the primary visit (qualification for the surgery and the study) and at the final follow-up. In between, the patients remained under the care of one of the physicians. Data collected included biometric records, radiographs (eg, hallux valgus angle [HVA]), intermetatarsal angle, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal Index, and visual analog scale score for pain and satisfaction. RESULTS There was a significant difference in comparison of the HVA between the groups at the final follow-up. Other collected parameters were similar (American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal Index, level of pain, and satisfaction). The complication rate was also similar between the groups. We observed comparable rates of reconsent to the treatment and foot appearance satisfaction in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of additional Akin correction, the outcome was comparable. Despite a significant difference in HVA score, pain and satisfaction level were similar. Based on our results, the Akin procedure may not provide substantial benefit as an adjunct to the scarf procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to provide an overview of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in hallux valgus correction surgery summarising the available high-quality evidence. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid MEDLINE (1946 to 1 February 2020) and Embase (1980 to 1 February 2020). We excluded non-randomised trials, systematic reviews and case-series. We also excluded trials of MTPJ arthrodesis. Trials that met our inclusion criteria were assessed by two authors using a binary outcome measure of whether they reported statistically significant findings. These were then classified according to intervention groups. RESULTS 32 RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were included. The total number of patients in those trials was 2,184. Only 4 RCTs (12.5%) reported significant differences between the intervention and the control groups. The remaining trials evaluated scarf or chevron osteotomies in 18 RCTs, and 10 RCTs compared other osteotomies or technical aspects of hallux valgus surgery using functional and radiological outcome measures with none reporting significant differences. CONCLUSION Evidence from RCTs of hallux valgus surgery suggest that scarf and chevron osteotomies are the most popular techniques and lead to similar clinical outcomes.

PROSPECT guideline for hallux valgus repair surgery: a systematic review and procedure-specific postoperative pain management recommendations. Reg Anesth Pain Med 2020; 45:702-708.

Abstract
Hallux valgus repair is associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the available literature and develop recommendations for optimal pain management after hallux valgus repair. A systematic review using PROcedure SPECific Postoperative Pain ManagemenT (PROSPECT) methodology was undertaken. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the English language from inception of database to December 2019 assessing postoperative pain using analgesic, anesthetic, and surgical interventions were identified from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database, among others. Of the 836 RCTs identified, 55 RCTs and 1 systematic review met our inclusion criteria. Interventions that improved postoperative pain relief included paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, systemic steroids, ankle block, and local anesthetic wound infiltration. Insufficient evidence was found for the use of gabapentinoids or wound infiltration with extended release bupivacaine or dexamethasone. Conflicting evidence was found for percutaneous chevron osteotomy. No evidence was found for homeopathic preparation, continuous local anesthetic wound infusion, clonidine and fentanyl as sciatic perineural adjuncts, bioabsorbable magnesium screws, and plaster slippers. No studies of sciatic nerve block met the inclusion criteria for PROSPECT methodology due to a wider scope of included surgical procedures or the lack of a control (no block) group. The analgesic regimen for hallux valgus repair should include, in the absence of contraindication, paracetamol and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitor administered preoperatively or intraoperatively and continued postoperatively, along with systemic steroids, and postoperative opioids for rescue analgesia.

Introduction the revolving scarf osteotomy for treating severe hallux valgus with an increased distal metatarsal articular angle: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:508. [PMID: 31679523 PMCID: PMC6825719 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2874-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux valgus(HV) with an increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is one of the most common foot deformities among adults. Double metatarsal osteotomy (DMO) is effective in treating severe HV deformity with an increased DMAA. However, this technique presents the risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the metatarsal head and transfer metatarsalgia due to shortening of the first metatarsal. The aim of this study was to introduce a surgical procedure defined as revolving scarf osteotomy (RSO) and compare the clinical and radiological results of RSO and DMO performed for treating severe HV with an increased DMAA. METHODS First metatarsal osteotomies and Akin osteotomy were performed in 56 patients (62 ft) with severe HV with an increased DMAA in Honghui Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. RSO was performed in 32 ft and DMO was performed in 30 ft. The Akin osteotomy was performed in both groups. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), DMAA, and first metatarsal length (FML) and the rates of complications were compared preoperatively and postoperatively in the two groups. RESULTS The mean AOFAS score, VAS score, HVA, IMA, and DMAA showed significant improvements in both groups after surgery, but with no significant differences between the two groups. The postoperative FML was significantly larger in the RSO group than in the DMO group (p < 0.001). One of the 30 ft (3.3%) in the DMO group exhibited transfer metatarsalgia at 12 months postoperatively, while another foot (3.3%) in same group had avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head. One of the 30 ft (3.1%) in the RSO group had hallux varus. CONCLUSIONS No differences in the clinical and radiographic results were observed between the two groups with severe HV and an increased DMAA. However, RSO does not cause shortening of the metatarsal and AVN of the metatarsal head. A long-term, randomized, controlled prospective study with a larger sample would provide higher-level evidence for confirming the clinical efficacy and safety of RSO.
