This study on hallux valgus surgery found that while first metatarsal elevation can reduce pressure on the forefoot, controlling bone alignment remains unpredictable. Postoperative outcomes show varied results in plantar pressure distribution.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity requiring surgical correction.
  • The modified McBride procedure with proximal crescentic osteotomy aims to correct first ray alignment and weightbearing.
  • Understanding the relationship between surgical correction and plantar pressure is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of proximal crescentic osteotomy with a modified McBride procedure.
  • To assess changes in plantar pressure distribution, particularly under the first and second metatarsal heads.
  • To correlate radiographic measurements of the first metatarsal with postoperative plantar pressure data.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective evaluation of 32 patients (43 feet) undergoing the surgical procedure.

  • Plantar pressure measurements using baropodometry before and after surgery.
  • Radiographic analysis of first metatarsal length and sagittal plane position.

    • Main Results:

    • Average peak pressure under the second metatarsal head increased postoperatively.
    • First metatarsal elevation greater than 2 mm correlated with reduced pressure under the first metatarsal head and hallux.
    • Five cases of first metatarsal elevation >2mm developed new second metatarsal transfer lesions.
    • Control of the osteotomy in the sagittal plane was unpredictable.

    Conclusions:

    • Proximal crescentic osteotomy can alter plantar pressure distribution, but sagittal plane control is inconsistent.
    • First metatarsal elevation may reduce forefoot pressure but carries a risk of secondary lesions.
    • Further refinement of surgical techniques is needed for predictable radiographic and functional outcomes in hallux valgus correction.
