    A novel double-stranded monofilament wire fixation technique for Akin osteotomy is presented. This method enhances stability by engaging four cortices before bone cutting, preserving the critical lateral hinge.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Surgical techniques
    • Biomedical engineering

    Background:

    • Akin osteotomy is a common procedure for hallux valgus correction.
    • Maintaining the integrity of the lateral cortical hinge is crucial for successful osteotomy healing.
    • Existing fixation methods may pose risks to the cortical hinge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new wire fixation technique for Akin osteotomy.
    • To evaluate the potential benefits of this novel fixation method in preserving the lateral cortical hinge.

    Main Methods:

    • A double-stranded monofilament wire is used for fixation.
    • The wire is passed medially to laterally through drill holes proximal and distal to the osteotomy.
    • The fixation is applied before the osteotomy cut, engaging four cortices.

    Main Results:

    • The described fixation method engages four cortices, providing robust stability.
    • Placement before osteotomy minimizes disruption to the lateral cortical hinge.
    • This technique offers a potentially improved approach to Akin osteotomy fixation.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel wire fixation technique offers a promising method for Akin osteotomy.
    • It potentially reduces the risk of lateral cortical hinge disruption.
    • Further studies are warranted to clinically validate this technique.
