PURPOSE: The authors intended to evaluate the results of symptomatic bunionette treated with a diaphyseal oblique osteotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine patients were followed for more than 1 year after diaphyseal oblique osteotomy for a bunionette deformity with plantar callosity. The mean age was 43 years (23-69 years), and the mean follow-up period was 27 months (12-70 months). As a combined disorder, 7 patients had hallux valgus, for which 3 distal metatarsal oteotomies, 3 proximal osteotomies, and 1 double osteotomy were performed. Clinically, preoperative and postoperative AOFAS MP-IP scale, patient's satisfaction, postoperative complications were analyzed. Radiologically, the 4th intermetatarsal angle and the 5th metatarso-phalangeal angle were analyzed. RESULTS: Clinically, AOFAS MP-IP scale was increased from 59 points preoperatively to 93 points postoperatively, and all patients were satisfied with the results. The plantar callosity had all disappeared at the final follow up. The 4th intermetatarsal angle was decreased from 12.6degrees preoperatively to 4.3degrees postoperatively, and the 5th metatarso- phalangeal angle was decreased from 21.9degrees preoperatively to 2.4degrees postoperatively. There were no significant postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: Diaphyseal oblique osteotomy of the 5th metatarsal appears to be safe and satisfactory procedure for the treatment of a symptomatic bunionette with plantar callosity.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore clinical effect of Scarf osteotomy combined with soft tissue balance in treating severe hallux valgus.
METHODS:
Totally 38 patients(50 feet) with severe hallux valux who underwent Scarf osteotomy combined with soft tissue balance surgery from June 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, aged from 29 to 64 years old with an average of(54.7±6.8) years old; 26 feet on the left side and 24 feet on the right side;the courses of disease ranged from 5 to 23 years with an average of (12.4±3.9) years. Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) were compared before and after operation, and postoperative complications was observed. American orthopedic foot ankle society(AOFAS) score before operation and final follow-up was used to evaluate recovery of forefoot function, and visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain relief.
RESULTS:
Thirty-eight patients (50 feet) were followed up from 15 to 23 months with an average of (18.3±3.2) months. Preoperative HVA, IMA and DMAA were (44.61±3.92)°, (18.74±2.51)°, (12.85±2.11)°, and improved to (13.45±2.13)°, (7.83±1.36)°, (7.03±1.39)°at final follow-up, which had statistical differneces(P<0.05). No delayed union or nonunion of osteotomy end, fracture or loosening of internal fixation, hallux varus occurred. VAS and AOFAS score improved from (6.81±2.14), (43.6±8.4)points before operation to (1.97±0.78), (87.6±5.2) points at final follow-up, which had statistical difference(P<0.01). According to AOFAS at final follow-up, 20 feet got excellent result, 28 feet good and 2 feet moderate.
CONCLUSION
Scarf osteotomy combined with soft tissue balance release for severe hallux valgus has good stability and corrective effect, but learning curve and postoperative complications should be paid attention.
