    Summary

    Osteotomy effectively corrects metatarsus varus and hallux valgus in mobile first MTP joints. Careful surgical technique ensures optimal outcomes, minimizing recurrence and complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Foot and ankle reconstruction

    Background:

    • Metatarsus varus and hallux valgus are common foot deformities.
    • Osteotomy is a surgical technique used to correct bone deformities.
    • The first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint's condition influences surgical approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the indications and techniques for osteotomy in correcting metatarsus varus and hallux valgus.
    • To highlight the benefits of specific osteotomy sites and fixation methods.
    • To emphasize the importance of careful surgical execution to prevent complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of osteotomy techniques for forefoot deformities.
    • Discussion of indications for osteotomy of the first metatarsal neck versus base.
    • Consideration of proximal phalanx osteotomy for hallux-specific issues.
    • Emphasis on internal fixation with lag screws for stability and early mobilization.

    Main Results:

    • Osteotomy is suitable for correcting metatarsus varus and hallux valgus when the first MTP joint is mobile and has minimal arthritis.
    • Osteotomy of the first metatarsal neck is preferred over the base when lateral obliquity is present.
    • Proximal phalanx osteotomy addresses hallux length, pronation, and valgus.
    • Internal fixation with lag screws facilitates stable correction and early patient mobilization.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteotomy provides a versatile method for correcting complex forefoot deformities, achieving both functional and aesthetic results.
    • Careful patient selection and precise surgical technique are crucial for successful osteotomy outcomes.
    • Avoiding complications such as recurrence, joint stiffness, and pain requires meticulous surgical execution.
