Summary

Bunionectomy with medial capsulorrhaphy showed mixed results, with 41% patient dissatisfaction and recurrent deformity as a key failure. The procedure is best suited for elderly patients with medial eminence pain, not young hallux valgus patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Podiatric surgery

Background:

  • Hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, is a frequent foot deformity.
  • Surgical correction aims to alleviate pain and improve function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of bunionectomy with medial capsulorrhaphy.
  • To identify factors influencing surgical success and patient satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 54 feet (37 patients) undergoing bunionectomy with medial capsulorrhaphy.
  • Follow-up was conducted on 49 feet at a mean of 4.8 years postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • Overall outcomes were rated excellent in 17 feet, good in 16, fair in 7, and poor in 9.
  • Recurrent deformity was the primary cause of failure, leading to dissatisfaction in 41% of patients.

  • The procedure showed better success in elderly patients with prominent medial eminence pain.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bunionectomy with medial capsulorrhaphy has limited application for young patients with significant hallux valgus.
    • The procedure is recommended for elderly patients experiencing pain primarily from a prominent medial eminence.
