Abstract

Objective. Distal, lateral soft tissue release to restore mediolateral balance of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in hallux valgus deformity. Incision of the adductor hallucis tendon from the fibular sesamoid, the lateral capsule, the lateral collateral ligament, and the lateral metatarsosesamoid ligament. Indications. Hallux valgus deformities or recurrent hallux valgus deformities with an incongruent MTP joint. Contraindications. General medical contraindications to surgical interventions. Painful stiffness of the MTP joint, osteonecrosis, congruent joint. Relative contraindications: connective tissue diseases (Marfan syndrome, Ehler-Danlos syndrome). Surgical technique. Longitudinal, dorsal incision in the first intermetatarsal web space between the first and second MTP joint. Blunt dissection and identification of the adductor hallucis tendon. Release of the adductor tendon from the fibular sesamoid. Incision of the lateral capsule, the lateral collateral ligament, and the lateral metatarsosesamoid ligament. Postoperative management. Postoperative management depends on bony correction. In joint-preserving procedures, dressing for 3 weeks in corrected position. Subsequently hallux valgus orthosis at night and a toe spreader for a further 3 months. Passive mobilization of the first MTP joint. Postoperative weight-bearing according to the osteotomy. Results. A total of 31 patients with isolated hallux valgus deformity underwent surgery with a Chevron and Akin osteotomy and a distal medial and lateral soft tissue balancing. The mean preoperative intermetatarsal (IMA) angle was 12.3A degrees (range 11-15A degrees); the hallux valgus (HV) angle was 28.2A degrees (25-36A degrees). The mean follow-up was 16.4 months (range 12-22 months). The mean postoperative IMA correction ranged between 2 and 7A degrees (mean 5.2A degrees); the mean HV correction was 15.5A degrees (range 9-21A degrees). In all, 29 patients (93 %) were satisfied or very satisfied with the postoperative outcome, while 2 patients (7 %) were not satisfied due to one delayed wound healing and one recurrent hallux valgus deformity. There were no infections, clinical and radiological signs of avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head, overcorrection with hallux varus deformity, or significant stiffness of the first MTP joint.
