Biplanar chevron osteotomy effectively treats hallux valgus deformities, particularly those with increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). Most patients would repeat the procedure, reporting significant improvements in foot alignment and function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Hallux valgus (bunion) is a common foot deformity.
  • Increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) can complicate surgical correction.
  • Biplanar chevron osteotomy is a surgical technique used for hallux valgus correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of biplanar chevron osteotomy in treating hallux valgus with increased DMAA.
  • To assess patient-reported outcomes and radiographic improvements following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 17 feet (14 patients) undergoing biplanar chevron osteotomy.
  • Patients had symptomatic hallux valgus with increased DMAA.
  • Average follow-up of 33 months.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in hallux valgus angle (22° to 18°).
  • Significant improvement in intermetatarsal angle (11° to 9°).
  • Significant improvement in DMAA (16° to 9°).
  • High patient satisfaction: 13 of 17 feet would undergo the procedure again.
  • Average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score of 91.

Conclusions:

  • Biplanar chevron osteotomy is a useful surgical option for hallux valgus with increased DMAA.
  • The procedure yields favorable radiographic and clinical outcomes.
  • High patient satisfaction supports the procedure's effectiveness.
