Objective: Evaluate the impact of Chevron and extended techniques associated with Akin osteotomy on range motion (ROM) hallux metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) interphalangeal (IPJ) after three months one year. Methods: Sixteen patients (17 feet) were evaluated for ROM MPJ IPJ pre-and postoperatively, flexion-extension measurements performed using a goniometer. Results: Comparing postoperative at...

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and reliability Tripod Index (TI) in defining hallux valgus (HV) deformity accompanying deformities evaluating treatment outcome. Material Methods: Fifty fifty two patients were included who underwent Chevron (group 1) proximal dome 2) osteotomy, respectively. Preoperative postoperative angle (HVA), intermetatarsal (IMA), Meary (MA)...

Iatrogenic hallux varus is a possible complication of hallux valgus surgery following Mc Bride or Scarf osteotomy, with or without Akin osteotomy of the first phalanx. It may also occur following chevron osteotomy or Keller's procedure. One possibility for surgical revision of iatrogenic hallux varus is reconstruction of the lateral stabilising soft-tissue components of the first metatarsophala...

BACKGROUND Proximal metatarsal osteotomy combined with a distal soft-tissue procedure is a common treatment for moderate to severe hallux valgus. Secure stabilisation of the metatarsal osteotomy is necessary to avoid complications such as delayed union, nonunion or malunion as well as loss of correction. The aim of this study was to report our results using a single screw for stabilisation of t...
