Summary
The Viladot-Regnauld technique for hallux valgus effectively corrects alignment, with excellent or good outcomes in most cases. This surgical procedure demonstrates long-term validity with no reported complications.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Foot and Ankle Surgery
Background:
- Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity.
- Surgical correction aims to improve alignment and reduce pain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the long-term efficacy of the Viladot-Regnauld technique for hallux valgus correction.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 26 patients (28 operations) undergoing the Viladot-Regnauld procedure.
- Long-term follow-up (average 18.7 years).
- Assessment using Kitaoka and modified Calder scores.
Main Results:
- Excellent or good outcomes in 26 of 28 operations; fair in two.
- Average correction of 15 degrees for valgus angle and 7 degrees for intermetatarsal angle.
- Average 25% medialization of sesamoids.
Conclusions:
- The Viladot-Regnauld technique is a valid and effective surgical option for hallux valgus.
- The procedure yields significant long-term improvements in foot alignment and function.
