Recurrence of hallux valgus is one of the most common and difficult complications after surgery. Due to the lack of understanding of 3D deformity of hallux valgus and risk factors for recurrence, the overall recurrence rate is still high, and the choice of treatment is still controversial. Improper operation and severe deformity are known risk factors for recurrence, while the role of unstable of the first plantar train and combined flat foot deformity in the recurrence has been paid more attention by scholars at home and abroad. In addition to the first metatarsophalangeal fusion, modified Lapidus osteotomy and proximal metatarsal osteotomy have been proven to be reliable revision procedures. The purpose of this study is to summarize risk factors for recurrence of hallux valgus after surgery, and to explore the choice of revision surgery after recurrence, in order to provide guidance for prevention and management of recurrence of hallux valgus.

The expert consensus of the third-generation minimally invasive technical specification for hallux valgus was developed by Foot and Ankle Committee of Orthopaedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Foot and Ankle Committee of Sports Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Foot and Ankle Expert Committee of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine. The consensus was drawn from evidence-based medicine and experts' clinical experience to provide an academic guidance of the third-generation minimally invasive technical specification of hallux valgus for the orthopedic surgeons, including definition, indications, osteotomy techniques, post-operative rehabilitation and prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of arthroscopy-assisted minimally invasive management of bunion and hallux valgus deformities.

METHODSTotal 50 patients (53 feet) with bunion and hallux valgus deformities were treated under arthroscopy from July 2008 to July 2011, with an average age of 42.3 years old (ranging from 30 to 65 years old) involving 19 left feet, 28 right feet and 3 both feet. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal(MP-IP) Scale Score was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect.

RESULTSThere were no complications such as hallux varus, hallux rigid and nerve or blood vessel injury. Clinically, AOFAS MP-IP Scale Score was increased from 62.19 ± 6.01 preoperatively to 88.26 ± 6.81 postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopy-assisted minimally invasive management appears to be a good procedure with advantages of less complication, little trauma and early rehabilitation for bunion and hallux valugs deformities.

Frequent variations are reported in muscles and ligaments of lower limb suggesting that these muscles are yet to achieve the evolutionary fate. Extensor Hallucis longus (EHL) is one such muscle exhibiting anomalies which prove to be of importance while explaining functional anatomy and clinical correlations of the foot. The current study reports unilateral presence of variant EHL tendon encountered during cadaveric dissection of dorsum of foot for undergraduate teaching. The tendon bifurcated into two slips (medial and lateral) at the base of first metatarsal. The main tendinous slip (lateral) was found to be inserted as usual on the dorsal aspect of the terminal phalanx of great toe. The thin medial slip was attached to the medial half of dorsal aspect of base of proximal phalanx of the great toe medial to the insertion of extensor hallucis brevis. An attempt is made to discuss the clinical implications of the variation in the light of available anatomical literature. The results of current study are of clinical relevance to orthopedicians and reconstructive surgeons.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate efficacy of radiographic and clinical of Chevron osteotomy versus Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus at moderate and severe degree. METHODS: Randomized controlled trial (RCT) about Chevron and Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus, in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Data were searched by computer from establishing database to June 2018. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently screened the literatures, evaluated risk of bias and extracted related observation index, RevMan 5.3.5 software was used to perform Meta-analysis. Postoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), AOFAS score, complications and patients' satisfaction degree between Chevron and Scarf osteotomy. RESULTS: Six RCT literatures were included, involving 507 patients, 92.5% patients were at moderate and severe degree, and 261 patients were performed by Chevron osteotomy and 246 patients were performed by Scarf osteotomy. Meta analysis results showed that Chevron osteotomy was better than Scarf osteotomy in correcting HVA [MD=-1.95, 95%CI(-2.64, -1.27), <0.000 01]. While there were no statistical differences in IMA [MD=-0.42, 95%CI(-1.04, 0.21), =0.19], DMAA[MD=0.78, 95%CI(-0.72, 2.29), =0.31], AOFAS score [MD=2.47, 95%CI(-2.38, 7.33), =0.32], complications [RR=1.09, 95%CI(0.54, 2.20), =0.82], and patients' satisfaction degree [RR=1.00, 95%CI(0.96, 1.05), =0.92]. CONCLUSIONS Chevron osteotomy, which has advantages in simple operation, shorten metatarsal bone, less trauma, was better in correcting HVA of hallux valgus at moderate and severe degree, and had similar effects in IMA, DMAA, AOFAS score, complications and patients' satisfactory degree.

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.
