We present the short-term follow-up of 55 symptomatic hallux valgus deformities in 38 patients, treated operatively with a modification of the spike distal first metatarsal osteotomy, as described by Gibson and Piggott in 1962. The age range of the patients was 17 to 72 years at the time of surgery. The postoperative follow-up period was 12 to 55 months. Excellent and good clinical and radiographic results were recorded in 96.2% of our patients. Two of the patients (3.8%) were dissatisfied; one of them complained of metatarsalgia after the procedure, and the other had stiffness of the metatarsophalangeal joint and metatarsalgia that had been present before surgery. Three others (5.45%) required revision after early postoperative displacement but were asymptomatic subsequently. We concluded that our technique is an effective method of treating mild hallux valgus deformities with the advantages of simplicity, no shortening of the first metatarsal, and no risk of dorsal tilting of the distal fragment. Hallux valgus (lateral deviation of the great toe) is not a single disorder, as the name implies, but a complex deformity of the first ray that sometimes may involve the lesser toes. More than 130 procedures exist for the surgical correction of hallux valgus, which means that no treatment is unique. No single operation is effective for all bunions. 5 , 22 , 29 The objectives of surgical treatment are to reduce pain, to restore articular congruency, and to narrow the forefoot without impairing function, by transferring weight to the lesser metatarsals either by shortening or by dorsal tilting of the first metatarsal. 5 , 19 , 24 , 27 Patient selection is important for a satisfactory outcome after surgery of any kind, and our criteria were age, degree of deformity, presence of arthrosis, and subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. 1 , 5 , 13 , 19 – 21 , 24 , 29 In this study, we present a new method of treating hallux valgus that has been used at Mayday University Hospital since 1990. The technique was first described at the British Orthopaedic Foot Surgery Society, Liverpool, November 1990, 7 and we now present the short-term follow-up results. The procedure is essentially a modification of the spike osteotomy of the neck of the first metatarsal, as described by Gibson and Piggott. 9 It has the advantages of simplicity, no shortening of the first metatarsal, and no risk of dorsal displacement of the distal fragment.

Clinicians have traditionally assessed range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal and ankle joints in a static position. It is unclear, however, if these measurements accurately reflect functional sagittal plane limitations of these joints during gait. For 50 patients (100 feet), we assessed available dorsiflexion at the first metatarsophalangeal and ankle joints, as well as the presence of pinch callus. We then compared these findings with 11 functional gait parameters, as measured using a pressure sensor system. After adjusting for age, weight, smoking status, glycosylated hemoglobin, and insensitivity to monofilament, we found that patients with pinch callus demonstrated statistically significant compensatory gait patterns in 7 of 11 measures. Hallux limitus and equinus patients demonstrated six and three statistically significant associations, respectively. Pinch callus seems to be as predictive of functional gait alterations as static first metatarsophalangeal joint and ankle dorsiflexion. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 94(6): 535–541, 2004)

Introduction. To date, there is no single approach to the surgical treatment of hallux rigidus. In turn, it is known that in the presence of bone-cartilaginous defects in knee, hip and ankle joints, the autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis is quite successfully used. In this regard, we have proposed to use this technique in patients with hallux rigidus. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the 1st MTP joint chondroplasty using the induced chondrogenesis technique in patients with HR, to analyze the immediate and medium-term results of the operations in terms of pain and function. Materials and methods. The 1st MTP joint chondroplasty has been performed in 21 patients with hallux rigidus. Before the surgery the range of motion (ROM) in 1st MTP joint was measured; the foot condition was evaluated using such scales as VAS of pain, AOFAS, VAS FA. The 1st MTP joint chondroplasty was performed using the technique of the induced chondrogenesis with collagen matrix. The results of surgical treatment were evaluated within 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Results: 3 months after the operation, a significant decrease in pain, an increase in ROM in 1st MTP joint and an improvement in the foot function were observed. Subsequently, a moderate positive dynamic was observed. Conclusion: the results of the operations showed that the 1st MTP joint chondroplasty can be an effective method of surgical treatment, which allows to relieve pain and significantly improve the quality of life of patients with hallux rigidus, both young and elderly. Also, this technique can be used in the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases of the low activity or remission.

(OA of the first MTP joint). On the other hand, it is known that the technique of autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis has been successfully used for osteochondral defects in the hip, knee and ankle joints. Therefore, we have proposed to use this technique in the treatment of patients with OA of the first MTP joint. Purpose To study the possibility of surgical treatment of patients with OA of the first MTP joint with the use of chondroplasty utilizing the technique of autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis, to demonstrate the immediate and mid-term results of such operations. Materials and methods Chondroplasty was performed in 15 patients (16 feet) with OA of the first MTP joint. The examination determined the range of motion in of the first MTP joint; the condition was assessed according to such scales as VAS for pain, AOFAS, FFI. Chondroplasty in of the first MTP joint was performed with the technique of induced chondrogenesis using a collagen matrix. The results of the operations were evaluated after 3, 6 and 12 months. Results As early as 3 months after the operation, there was a marked significant increase in the range of motion and a decrease in pain of the first MTP joint. Moderate positive dynamics were observed after 6 and 12 months. Conclusion The results of the operations showed that chondroplasty of the first MTP joint is an effective method of surgical treatment that provides pain relief and significantly improves the quality of life of patients with OA of the first MTP joint. However, it is necessary to study long-term results.

Hallux valgus is characterized by the appearance and growth of a painful “lump” in the region of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the development of forefoot corns, and inability to choose the right shoes, which leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Corrective osteotomies that preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint, for example Austin (Chevron) osteotomy, are usually used for hallux valgus deformity of the I, II degrees. Radiography with the study of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is a research method that shows the true correlation between bone structures. The correlation between the radiological and functional indicators of osteotomy allows us to determine possible recommendations for indications for surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Correlation shows that the largest correction of hallux valgus in older patients occurs due to a small adjustment of the angle of DMMA and HVA. IMA had the best correction after Austin osteotomy among patients of a younger age, then the HVA, and the DMMA had minimum correction according to the AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka). The revealed correlations allow us to determine the correct tactics for the treatment of hallux valgus by identifying the benefits of Austin osteotomy.
