Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the treatment of juvenile hallux valgus (JHV). Numerous surgical techniques have been described, none of which has been proven to be superior and the mid-term results of these methods are not well known. Our objective was to compare the mid-term clinical, radiographic, and functional results of three metatarsal osteotomy techniques. METHODS Patients under 18 years of age operated on for JHV between January 2010 and December 2019 were included in this multicenter retrospective study. Patients were excluded if they had non-idiopathic hallux valgus or if their postoperative follow-up was less than 3 years. The surgical techniques used were metatarsal osteotomies: basimetatarsal, scarf, or distal. During follow-up visits, we collected HMIS-AOFAS (Hallux Metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal Scale-American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, acquired radiographs, and recorded complications and recurrences. Secondarily, the study population was stratified according to physis status (open vs. closed). RESULTS During the study period, 18 patients (26 feet) met the inclusion criteria. The median postoperative follow-up was 6.5 (4.1) years. At the end of follow-up, the median HMIS score was 79.0 (20.0), the mean hallux valgus angle (HVA) improvement was 13.2° (16.8), and the complication and recurrence rates were 31 % and 23 %, respectively. There was no significant difference in the outcome measures between the three techniques or any difference according to physis status at the time of surgery. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The functional and radiographic results of metatarsal osteotomies are good in the medium term, regardless of the osteotomy site. Our results are comparable to those published in the literature. As our sample size was limited, it did not lead to the identification of statistically significant differences.

Abstract
Background Juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) is a forefoot deformity that causes pain and functional limitation. Treatment poses a challenge in terms of the optimal technique and timing of intervention. A systematic review of the literature on the use of growth modulation in treating JHV was conducted. Materials and methods The literature review was performed using PubMed and EMBASE searches for articles investigating growth modulation in the treatment of JHV published before December 1st, 2021. Seven articles were included in the final review that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary outcomes included the degree of correction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle. A qualitative assessment of the articles was done due to the heterogeneity of the growth modulation methods used in these articles. Results A total of 135 feet from 78 patients were included from the reviewed articles. Growth modulation methods included temporary screw lateral hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal, lateral drilling hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal, and a trephine plug removal of the lateral epiphysis followed by cancellous bone graft insertion. The degree of correction of the hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles were found to be statistically significant in all studies, regardless of the technique. Conclusion Growth modulation for JHV by lateral hemiepiphysiodesis using minimally invasive techniques produced favourable radiologic outcomes with some evidence of clinical improvement. Larger, prospective and comparative studies with objective clinical outcome measures may further consolidate this surgical approach as a mean to treating this deformity.

J Foot Ankle Surg 2022; 61:88-92. [PMID: 34266723 DOI: 10.1053/j.jfas.2021.06.012] [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: 06/23/2019] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) can limit the quality of life of the affected children. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of temporary screw lateral hemiepiphysiodesis of the base of the first metatarsal. A chart review of patients who underwent temporary screw lateral hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal at a tertiary care pediatric orthopedic center was done. A total of 23 feet of 14 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 10.6 ± 1.8 years, while the bone age was 11.1 ± 1.8 years. The mean follow-up duration was 24.7 ± 13.4 months (range: 12-60 months). The hallux valgus angle (HVA) improved from a mean of 30.9° ± 6.7° to a mean of 27.6° ± 8.2° (p = .001), while the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) improved from a mean of 14.6° ± 2.3° to a mean of 12.5° ± 3.0° (p < .001). Revision surgery was done for 5 (21.7%) feet of 3 patients for symptomatic uncorrected deformity (4 feet) or screw migration due to bone growth (1 foot). The mean HVA correction was 5.00° ± 3.7° in patients with bone age of 12 years or less compared to 1.50° ± 4.6° in patients with bone age of more than 12 years (p = .060). The radiological outcomes of temporary screw lateral hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal for JHV deformity correction are promising, especially in children with lesser bone age. The procedure was technically simple to perform and had minor complications.
