Abstract

Background: Distal chevron osteotomy can be performed using a conventional or a modified technique. The aim of this biomechanical study was to compare the stability of the two techniques. Methods: Eighteen first metatarsals from nine pairs of fresh frozen human cadaver feet were used. A distal chevron osteotomy was performed using the conventional technique in group 1 (n = 9) and using the modified technique in group 2 (n = 9). The head of the first metatarsals was loaded in two different configurations (cantilever and physiological), using a materials testing machine. Results: In the cantilever configuration, the relative stiffness of the osteosynthesis in comparison with intact bone was 60% (+/- 21%) in group 1 and 65% (+/- 25%) in group 2 (p = 0.61). In the physiological configuration, it was 47% (+/- 29%) in group 1 and 47% (+/- 21%) in group 2 (p = 0.98). The failure strength in the cantilever configuration was 235 N (+/- 128 N) in group 1 and 210 N (+/- 107 N) in group 2 (p = 0.47). Conclusions: The conventional and the modified technique for distal chevron osteotomy in the treatment of hallux valgus show a comparable biomechanical loading capacity in this cadaver study.
