Metatarsal osteotomies: which operation?

D L Grace

    The Journal of Foot Surgery
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surgical correction of hallux valgus using metatarsal osteotomy requires balancing biologic and biomechanical factors. Preoperative assessment of the first metatarsal and metatarsophalangeal joint alignment is crucial for successful outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Foot and ankle biomechanics

    Background:

    • Hallux valgus surgical correction often involves metatarsal osteotomy.
    • Restoring normal foot anatomy is the primary goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline key considerations for selecting metatarsal osteotomy techniques in hallux valgus surgery.
    • To emphasize the importance of preoperative anatomical assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of biomechanical and biological principles in hallux valgus surgery.
    • Analysis of preoperative factors influencing surgical decision-making.

    Main Results:

    • First metatarsal length and direction are critical preoperative parameters.
    • First metatarsophalangeal joint alignment must be addressed.
    • Avoiding reduction of a short first metatarsal is recommended.
    • Medial capsular plication is indicated for subluxed joints.
    • Basal osteotomy is necessary for significant metatarsus primus varus.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful hallux valgus surgery necessitates a tailored approach balancing surgical technique with patient-specific anatomy.
    • Preoperative evaluation of the first metatarsal and first MTP joint is paramount for optimal surgical planning and outcomes.
