Abstract:
PURPOSE: We compared the result of a proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy and soft tissue procedure with a modified chevron osteotomy and soft tissue procedure in the treatment of hallux valgus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 1999 and February 2003, we performed proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy and soft tissue procedure on 17 feet (12 patients), and modified chevron osteotomy and soft tissue procedure on 12 feet (9 patients). RESULTS: According to Mayo clinic forefoot scoring system (FFSS), group 1, with proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy, shows 67.2 points postoperatively and group 2, with modified chevron osteotomy, shows 68.5 points postoperatively. In group 1, the average correction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was 20.8 degrees and 4.8 degrees, respectively. In group 2, the average correction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was 19.9 degrees and 4.7 degrees, respectively. The average shortening was 3.15 mm in group 1 and 1.38 mm in group 2. CONCLUSION: We obtained relatively good clinical and radiographic result in this study. The effect on shortening of the first metatarsal was greater in the proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy than modified chevron osteotomy, but the metatarsal shortening did not related with metatarsalgia. So, both techniques seems optimal surgical treatment for hallux valgus deformity.
