PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) is a percutaneous technique used to correct hallux valgus deformity. combination of distal osteotomy the first metatarsal and proximal phalanx big toe stabilized with internal fixation was over last decade. retrospective study presents results measurements performed on preoperative postoperative X-rays offers comparison conventiona...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to identify risk factors for the recurrence of hallux valgus deformity and to clarify whether recurrence after surgery to treat hallux valgus can be predicted using radiographic parameters assessed on immediate postoperative non-weight-bearing radiographs. METHODS A proximal chevron osteotomy combined with a distal soft-tissue procedure was performed by ...

We reviewed 57 adult patients at an average of 37 months after early internal fixation for displaced fractures of the distal humerus. Two-thirds had intercondylar (Müller type C) fractures, and one-third had articular comminution (type C3). A chevron olecranon osteotomy was used, with early active movement after fixation. Results were good or excellent in 76% with an average range of movement o...

The Austin procedure is primarily a transpositional V osteotomy of the head of the first metatarsal for the management of hallux valgus. The procedure was first reported in the podiatric literature and attributed to Dr. Austin by Miller and Croce. The procedure was presented initially by Dr. Dale Austin in his 1981 publication. The procedure as described is a horizontally directed V osteotomy p...

Introduction Hallux valgus is one of the most common forefoot deformities worldwide. Females are affected more often than males. The three most common clinical symptoms are the painful bunion, transfer metatarsalgia, and hammer or claw toes. Methods This case series consisted of 20 patients who had chevron osteotomy from January 2015 to January 2016. The clinical assessment was measured by The ...

PURPOSE With differences between the sexes in foot bone anatomy and ligamentous laxity, there is the possibility that the results of hallux valgus surgery may also differ between the sexes. We aimed to compare the results of hallux valgus surgery between the sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed 60 males (66 feet) and 70 females (82 feet) who underwent distal or pr...

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...

PurposeWe aimed to characterize the incidence of complications regarding olecranon osteotomy, looking more specifically at type osteotomy and fixation construct used repair osteotomy.MethodsIn accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed. A study included if it an adult clinical study, transverse or chevron perfo...
