The modified Hohmann procedure effectively corrects hallux valgus, with 88% of patients reporting excellent or good results. This surgical technique offers a safe and reliable solution for foot deformity.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity.
  • Surgical correction is often necessary for symptomatic cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of a modified Hohmann procedure for hallux valgus.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and radiographic results following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Hohmann procedure with Kirschner wire fixation was performed on 181 patients (247 toes).
  • Follow-up included questionnaires and radiographic assessment of bony healing.
  • Average follow-up was 52 months.

Main Results:

  • Average hallux valgus angle correction was 10 degrees (31.4° to 21.4°).

  • 88% of patients reported excellent or good/fair results.
  • A positive correlation was found between correction of valgus angle, lateral displacement, and first metatarsal shortening with overall outcomes.
  • Conclusions:

    • The modified Hohmann procedure is a safe and reliable surgical option for hallux valgus.
    • Good radiographic correction and high patient satisfaction rates were observed.
