Radiographic and Clinical Results of Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin Osteotomy for Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus
1Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chiba Aiyukai Memorial Hospital, Nagareyama City, Chiba, Japan.
Background:
Few studies have reported results of minimally invasive chevron Akin osteotomy (MICA) for moderate to severe hallux valgus correction. This study aims to evaluate MICA for moderate to severe hallux valgus radiographically and clinically.
Methods:
Forty feet were prospectively reviewed. Twenty-eight feet (70%) had a severe deformity (hallux valgus angle (HVA) ≥40° and/or first intermetatarsal angle (IMA) ≥18°). We measured HVA, IMA, lateral shape of the metatarsal head (round sign), tibial sesamoid position, first metatarsal shortening on anteroposterior weightbearing radiographs, and inclination angle of first metatarsal on lateral weightbearing radiographs. We evaluated the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot hallux scale and Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire responses preoperatively and at the most recent follow-up.
Results:
All measurements except shortening and inclination angle improved significantly. Both clinical scale and all subscores significantly improved.
Conclusions:
MICA improved moderate to severe hallux valgus both radiographically and clinically.Level of Evidence: Level IV: case series.
