Objective:
To evaluate trends in corrective surgery for hallux valgus in Brazil, focusing on minimally invasive techniques, regardless of generation.
Methods:
Information was obtained through a questionnaire, using the "Survey" tool, to foot and ankle orthopedists; conducted by the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of IAMSPE. Outcomes were measured and evaluated through tables and incidence. Data from 54 orthopedic doctors were evaluated, regardless of the surgical technique used to correct hallux valgus.
Results:
A trend toward preference for the minimally invasive technique was observed, due to better clinical outcomes and early rehabilitation.
Conclusion:
There is a need for further study and in-depth analysis of the minimally invasive technique for the treatment of hallux valgus, considering that this has become the main method of choice for the treatment of this condition. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series .
