Insights
Hallux valgus (HV), a common foot deformity, causes pain and limits activity. This review details HV
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics and Podiatry
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Hallux valgus (HV) is the most prevalent foot deformity, characterized by complex pathogenesis and significant impact on patient quality of life.
- Progression of HV leads to increased pain and reduced physical activity, necessitating effective treatment strategies.
- Current treatments include conservative methods and surgical interventions, with surgery often required when conservative approaches fail.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive systematic review of recent advancements in Hallux Valgus (HV).
- To summarize the etiological mechanisms, epidemiology, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for HV.
- To highlight the evolution of minimally invasive surgical techniques for HV, from first to fourth generation.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review tracking recent advancements in Hallux Valgus (HV).
- Analysis of etiological factors, epidemiological data, and diagnostic criteria for HV.
- Emphasis on surgical therapies, with a focus on the progression of minimally invasive treatments.
Main Results:
- Hallux valgus (HV) pathogenesis is multifactorial and challenging to elucidate.
- Minimally invasive surgical treatments for HV offer advantages in safety, efficiency, and recovery.
- The review details the progression of minimally invasive HV surgery through four generations.
Conclusions:
- This review provides a systematic basis for the clinical management of Hallux Valgus (HV).
- It serves as a reference for future research into the etiology and treatment of HV.
- Minimally invasive surgery represents a significant advancement in correcting HV deformities.
Abstract:
Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common foot deformity. It has various pathogenic factors that make its pathogenesis challenging to understand. As the disease progresses, patients experience amplified pain and decreased activities, significantly affecting their quality of life. At present, clinics offer several conservative and surgical treatments that must be selected based on patient condition and disease progression. Surgical treatment is frequently the only method available to patients with HV to delay disease progression and correct the deformity after conservative treatment fails. In recent years, minimally invasive surgical treatments have gained significant attention and developed rapidly due to their well-known advantages, such as safety, efficiency, and quick recovery time. The number of literature that provides a systematic review of the subject must be increased. This review tracks recent advancements, summarizing the etiological mechanism, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of HV. In addition, it emphasizes typical surgical therapies and focuses on the progress of minimally invasive treatment from the first generation to the current fourth generation. This review will serve as a systematic basis for the clinical treatment of HV and provide a reference material for future research.
