Extensor hallucis longus transfer for hallux varus deformity.

K A Johnson, P V Spiegl

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new surgical technique effectively corrects hallux varus, a toe deformity often occurring after hallux valgus surgery. The procedure involves tendon transfer and joint fusion, yielding satisfactory results in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Foot and Ankle Reconstruction
    • Podiatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Hallux varus is a complex foot deformity characterized by a dynamic imbalance of tendons around the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
    • This condition frequently arises as a complication following McBride-type surgical procedures for hallux valgus.
    • Existing treatments may not fully address the dynamic nature of the deformity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel surgical procedure for correcting hallux varus.
    • To assess the efficacy of extensor hallucis longus tendon transfer combined with first interphalangeal joint arthrodesis.

    Main Methods:

    • A new surgical technique was employed, involving the transfer of the extensor hallucis longus tendon.
    • The tendon was rerouted beneath the first intermetatarsal ligament to the base of the proximal phalanx.
    • Concurrent arthrodesis (fusion) of the first interphalangeal joint was performed.

    Main Results:

    • The study included fifteen patients with hallux varus deformity affecting the great toe.
    • The described surgical procedure demonstrated overall satisfactory correction of the hallux varus deformity.
    • No significant complications were reported in the provided abstract.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical approach offers a viable solution for correcting hallux varus.
    • Tendon transfer and joint fusion present a promising method for addressing dynamic imbalances causing hallux varus.
    • This technique may be beneficial for patients experiencing hallux varus post-hallux valgus surgery.
