Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare minimally invasive and traditional Chevron osteotomy in treating patients with mild to moderate hallux valgus.
METHODS:Clinical data of 36 patients (36 feet) with mild to moderate hallux valgus from January 2019 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and divided into minimally invasive osteotomy(minimally invasive group) and traditional Chevron osteotomy(traditional group). There were 16 patients in minimally invasive group, including 1 male and 15 females, aged from 36 to 60 years old with an average of(49.0±9.5) years old;9 were mild and 7 were moderate according to Mann classification;treated with minimally invasive osteotomy with hollow screw fixation. There were 20 patients(20 feet) in traditional group, including 2 males and 18 females, aged from 38 to 65 years old with an average of(50.0±9.2) years old;11 were mild and 9 were moderate according to Mann classification;treated with traditional Chevron osteotomy. Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA) before and after operation at 12 months bewteen two groups were observed and compared, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after operation at 6 weeks and 12 months between two groups were compared.
RESULTS:Thirty-six patiens were followed up from 14 to 30 months with an average of (21.00±5.77) months. All incisions were healed well at stageⅠwithout infection. There were no significant differences in HVA, IMA, AOFAS forefoot scores and VAS before and after operation at 12 months between two groups(P>0.05). However, AOFAS forefoot scores and VAS of minimally invasive group was significantly better than that of traditionl group at 6 weeks after operation (P<0.05). Postoperative HVA, IMA, AOFAS forefoot scores and VAS at 12 months bewteen two groups were improved better than that of preoperation(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION:Compared with traditional Chevron osteotomy, minimally invasive osteotomy has less trauma and quicker recovery. Both of them has similar clinical effects, and could receive satisfactory clinical effects, while treatment of minimally invasive osteotomy should pain attention to learning curve.
