Abstract
Hallux valgus (HV) is a relatively frequent disease caused by a complicated structural malformation of the primary ray. The bunion or middle projection generated by the hallux's lateral displacement and pronation is merely one element of the three-dimensional abnormality. HV may trigger severe discomfort and affect joint kinematics. The specific kinematic cause is still unknown. Female age, gender, restrictive footwear, and heritage are risk indicators. HV frequently coexists along metatarsal adducts, equines contracture, hammertoe imperfection, and pes planus. HV is a frequent foot ailment with multiple, complicated, unknown etiology and course. HV has a preference for females. It is an ongoing condition for which there is no known treatment to reduce or prevent improvement. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is distinguished by hereditary symmetrical HV deformities or symptoms that begin heterotopic calcification that is either idiopathic or caused by trauma, such as subcutaneous immunizations. Localized heterotopic calcification may be preceded by aggravating, recurring soft-tissue enlargements (flare-ups). Heterotopic calcification may happen anywhere; however, it most commonly impacts locations near the axial bone structure during the early/mild phases until advancing to the appendicular skeleton. As an effect of calcification affecting the flexibility of the joints, it might cause limitations in motion. The initial line of therapy focuses on non-surgical methods including night splinting, orthotics, and larger shoes. The next suggested line of action is surgical intervention if conservative therapy fails. Patients have good postoperative tolerance, and bone union often happens six to seven weeks after surgery. Stretching exercises help to restore function by extending shortened soft tissue and restoring range of motion (ROM). The goal of joint mobilization, a form of manual treatment method, is to extend the ligament, the soft tissue surrounding the limited joint, and the restricting joint capsule by applying modest amplitude passive movement to the joint components.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e36912. [PMID: 38241574 PMCID: PMC10798714 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Hallux valgus (HV) is often accompanied by metatarsalgia. This study compared the radiological and clinical outcomes of new triplanar chevron osteotomy (TCO) and chevron osteotomy (CO) in the treatment of HV, especially for patients with plantar callosities and metatarsalgia. In this retrospective analysis, 90 patients (45 patients per group) with mild to moderate HV and plantar callosities were treated with TCO and CO from July 2020 to January 2022. In both procedures, the apex was located in the center of the head of the first metatarsal bone, and the CO was oriented towards the fourth MTPJ at a 60° angle. Plantar-oblique chevron osteotomy was defined as chevron osteotomy and a 20° plantar tilt; TCO was defined as plantar-oblique chevron osteotomy-based metatarsal osteotomy with a 10° tilt towards the metatarsal head. Primary outcome measures included preoperative and postoperative hallux valgus angle, 1 to 2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), first metatarsal length (FML), and second metatarsal head height X-ray images; clinical measurements, including visual analogue scale and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores; changes in callosity grade and area; and changes in the number of people with metatarsalgia. Secondary outcomes included complications, recurrence rates, and cosmetic appearance. The hallux valgus angle, IMA, and DMAA were significantly lower after surgery (P < .001) in all patients. In the TCO group, the mean FML and second metatarsal head height increased significantly postoperatively (P < .001). The AOFAS and visual analogue scale scores improved postoperatively in both groups (P < .001). All patients experienced satisfactory pain relief and acceptable cosmesis. The plantar callosity areas were smaller postoperatively in both the TCO and CO groups, but the change in the area (Δarea) in the TCO group significantly differed from that in the CO group (P < .001). The number of postoperative patients with metatarsalgia and the plantar callosity grade were both significantly lower in the TCO group than in the CO group after osteotomy (P < .05). TCO prevents dorsal shift of the metatarsal head and preserves and even increases FML, thereby preventing future metatarsalgia in patients. Therefore, compared with CO, TCO has better orthopedic outcomes and is an effective method for treating mild to moderate HV and preventing transfer metatarsalgia.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:61. [PMID: 38216881 PMCID: PMC10787438 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07156-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional Scarf osteotomy (TSO) is an effective procedure with a good record in moderate to severe hallux valgus (MSHV) surgery. In order to overcome shortcomings of TSO, Modified Rotary Scarf osteotomy (MRSO) was introduced in this study, which aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcome in the patients treated with MRSO or TSO. METHODS Of 175 patients (247 feet) with MSHV, 100 patients (138 feet) treated with MRSO and 75 patients (109 feet) treated with TSO were evaluated according to relevant indicators in twenty-four months follow-up. Pre-surgical and post-surgical HVA, IMA, DMAA, MTP-1 ROM, sesamoid grade and AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) scores and postsurgical complications were evaluated. RESULTS Both groups manifested similar baseline characters. The mean follow-up was of 25.9 (range, 22-37) months. Significantly lower IMA, lower Sesamoid grade and higher DMAA at six months, twelve months and twenty-four months post-surgically had been showed in MRSO group compared to TSO group. There was no significant difference in HVA, MTP-1 ROM and AOFAS data at each follow-up time point post-surgically between the two groups. No major complications occurred in either group. CONCLUSION MRSO showed comparable results to TSO, and improved IMA and sesamoid grade to a greater extent, with a lower probability of throughing effect. Although DMAA could be increased by MRSO, MRSO could still be a reproducible, non-dangerous and efficacious alternative procedure for treating HV patients which do not have severe DMAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hallux valgus deformity is made up of misaligned first metatarsal, hallux, and sesamoids. Their angular deformities are well-studied, but not their positional displacements. A few available reports claimed the proximal end of the proximal phalanx and sesamoids were not shifted medially along with the first metatarsal head. However, the general observation is otherwise. This study revisits the issue. METHODS A radiological study of 189 feet with and without the hallux valgus deformity was carried out to analyze the first metatarsal, hallux, and sesamoid positional changes in relation to the second metatarsal and among themselves. A total of 194 X-ray images with all relevant measurements that formed the raw database for this study were submitted for online viewing and reference. RESULTS There was a statistically significant change in the first metatarsal, hallux, and sesamoid positions of feet with hallux valgus deformity compared to normal feet. All have migrated medially but to different degrees. It was contrary to the past findings of no change in sesamoid and hallux positions. CONCLUSIONS We agree with past findings that the metatarsus primus varus deformity is directly related to the failed medial metatarsosesamoid ligament. We also believe in the failure of the deep 1-2 transverse metatarsal ligament responsible for the sesamoid migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foot pathologies can affect the kinetic chain during gait, leading to altered loading at other joints that can lead to subsequent pathologies. Although hallux valgus is the most common foot disease, little has been discussed about the biokinetic effects of hallux valgus on the foot and lower limb. This systematic review evaluated the kinematic, kinetic, and pedobarographic changes of the hallux valgus foot compared to a healthy one. METHODS Several electronic databases were searched up to January 2022, including only cross-sectional studies with clearly defined isolated hallux valgus diseases and healthy groups. Two investigators independently rated studies for methodological quality using the NIH Study Quality Assessment Tool for cross-sectional studies. Kinetic data were extracted, including temporal data, kinematics of the foot joint, kinematics of the proximal lower limb, and pedobarography. We did meta-analyses tests with a random effects model using the metafor package in R. RESULTS Hallux valgus patients walk slower compared to a disease-free control group -0.16 m/s (95% CI -0.27, -0.05). Hallux valgus patients exhibited significantly reduced coronal plane motion of the hindfoot-shank during preswing 1.16 degrees (95% CI 0.31, 2.00). Hallux valgus patients generated less force in the hallux region 33.48 N (95% CI 8.62, 58.35) but similar peak pressures in the hallux compared to controls. Hallux valgus patients generated less peak pressure at the medial and lateral hindfoot as compared to controls: 8.28 kPa (95% CI 2.92, 13.64) and 8.54 kPa (95% CI 3.55, 13.52), respectively. CONCLUSION Although hallux valgus is a deformity of the forefoot, the kinematic changes due to the pathology are associated with significant changes in the range of motion at other joints, underscoring its importance in the kinetic chain. This is demonstrated again with the changes of peak pressure. Nevertheless, more high-quality studies are still needed to develop a fuller understanding of this pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of concomitant Weil osteotomy to address second toe metatarsalgia during hallux valgus correction is unclear. We aimed to critically analyse outcomes of an additional Weil osteotomy versus isolated Scarf osteotomy.in the management of hallux valgus and second metatarsalgia. METHODS Patients with second toe metatarsalgia who underwent first metatarsal Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus were enrolled retrospectively. Demographics, radiographic measurements and functional outcomes were assessed at baseline, 6-months and 2-years postoperatively. Between-group significance was established with Fisher exact test, Chi-square or Mann-Whitney U test. Within-group changes from baseline were assessed with paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS 48 feet (34 isolated Scarf, 14 concomitant Weil osteotomy) were included. Both cohorts demonstrated significant improvements across all measures of functional outcome. However, patients with additional Weil osteotomy reported poorer short-term outcomes. CONCLUSION Superiority of additional Weil osteotomy versus isolated Scarf osteotomy in addressing second toe metatarsalgia or improving functional outcomes was not demonstrated.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the risk factors for hallux valgus complicated with pain under the second metatarsal and construct an effective model and method for predicting hallux valgus complicated with pain under the second metatarsal based on risk factors. Methods A total of 545 patients with hallux valgus who were admitted to our hospital were divided randomly into a training set and a validation set. The demographic characteristics, imaging indices and gait test indices of the patients were collected. The risk factors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A risk prediction model for hallux valgus with pain under the second metatarsal was established, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic and a decision curve analysis were used for verification and identification. The value of the model was tested in the verification group. Results Second metatarsal length, second metatarsal peak pressure, hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle 1–2 (IMA1–2) and weight were the risk factors for hallux valgus complicated with pain under the second metatarsal. Based on the weighting of these seven risk factors, a prediction model was established. The AUC of the prediction model was 0.84 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.802~0.898, P < 0.05), and the results of a Hosmer–Lemeshow test showed a good degree of calibration (χ2 = 10.62, P > 0.05). The internal validation of the AUC was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.737–0.885, P < 0.05). The model had obvious net benefits when the threshold probability was 10%–70%. Conclusion Second metatarsal length, second metatarsal peak pressure, HVA, IMA1–2 and weight were the risk factors for hallux valgus combined with second metatarsal pain. The risk prediction model for hallux valgus complicated with pain under the second metatarsal based on these seven variables was proven effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few previous studies focused on plantar loading patterns in HV patients with metatarsalgia. Are there any differences in plantar pressure measurements in women with HV with and without metatarsalgia? METHODS A prospective matched-cohort study was designed to analyze plantar pressure measurements in women with HV with and without metatarsalgia from January 2017 to December 2019. The inclusion criteria were age over 18 years old, women, diagnosis of HV with metatarsalgia. Control group had the same inclusion criteria, except metatarsalgia. Patient-reported outcomes scores included American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Radiographic data were obtained according to the guidelines of the AOFAS Committee on Angular Measurements. Plantar pressure measurements were performed using a platform. RESULTS Forty-seven patients met the inclusion criteria. An age-, BMI-, and hallux valgus angle-matched cohort of 47 patients were also selected. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic data and radiographic assessment. HV with metatarsalgia group showed greater values in peak and mean force, peak and mean pressure, and pressure-time integral under toes and metatarsal heads. These differences reached statistically significant in mean force (p = 0.009) and peak force (p = 0.003) under T1; mean pressure (p = 0.01) and peak pressure (p = 0.04) under T1; and mean force (p = 0.003) under MH1. The binary logistic regression analysis showed mean force under T1 as the most associated plantar pressure measurement with the presence of metatarsalgia. C-statistic was 0.66. Mean force > 35 N had a 70% of sensitivity and a 57% of specificity as a cut-off value for the presence of metatarsalgia. CONCLUSION HV patients with metatarsalgia had greater values in plantar pressure measurements. Mean force under T1 could be used as a plantar pressure measurement to predict metatarsalgia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Lapidus procedure using planar saw resection has often been criticized for complications related to excessive shortening and elevation of the first ray. The goal of this study was to assess the amount of shortening that occurs when using a cutting guide for controlled saw resection of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint surfaces, along with assessment of deformity correction in all 3 anatomic planes. METHODS A prospective multicenter study with IRB approval included 35 hallux valgus subjects evaluated at baseline and 6 months following instrumented triplane first TMT arthrodesis without lesser metatarsal osteotomies. RESULTS The average first ray bone segment length loss was 3.1 mm (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.4-3.7) in the anteroposterior (AP) radiographic assessment and 2.4 mm (95% CI 1.7-3.1) in the sagittal plane. The mean preoperative radiographic measurements were 1.7 degrees (dorsiflexion) for sagittal plane angle, 13.8 degrees for intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and 5.1 for tibial sesamoid position (TSP). Improvements were seen postoperatively for all measures with a mean difference of -0.2 degrees (95% CI -1.0 to 0.6) for sagittal plane angle, -9.2 degrees (95% CI -10.1 to -8.3 degrees) for IMA, and -3.5 (95% CI -4.0 to -3.1) for TSP. Five of the patients reported lesser metatarsal pain preoperatively, and no patients complained of lesser metatarsalgia at 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Minimal length loss of the first ray can be expected following instrumented triplane TMT arthrodesis while achieving full 3-dimensional deformity correction and reducing the risk of lesser metatarsalgia.
