Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Minimally invasive surgical techniques

Background:

Percutaneous surgical techniques have gained significant popularity in the last decade.
The chevron osteotomy, introduced in 2007, offers a method for correcting hallux valgus deformities.
Advancements in fixation have improved the ability to correct severe deformities.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolution and application of the percutaneous chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus correction.
To highlight the mini-invasive nature of the percutaneous chevron Akin procedure.
To acknowledge the varied nomenclature used in literature for this technique.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on percutaneous chevron osteotomy techniques.
Discussion of the evolution of fixation methods.
Analysis of the application in correcting severe hallux valgus deformities.

Main Results:

The percutaneous chevron osteotomy, often combined with Akin osteotomy, is a viable option for hallux valgus correction.
Evolved fixation has expanded the capability to address severe deformities.
The technique is described using various names across different commercial entities.

Conclusions:

The mini-invasive percutaneous chevron Akin procedure represents an advancement in hallux valgus correction.
This technique allows for effective correction of both mild and severe deformities.
Standardization of terminology may improve clarity in surgical literature.
