Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of the treatment of hallux valgus with metatarsal double osteotomy and longitudinal pin fixation. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 19 patients (21 feet) who had been treated by metatarsal double osteotomy and longitudinal pin fixation for the moderate or severe hallux valgus with increased distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), between 1999 and 2004. They were followed prospectively for a minimum of 20 months. Functional outcomes were measured via Hallux metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal (HMI) scale and Mayo clinic forefoot scoring system (FFSS). Radiographically, we assessed pre, postoperative and at the last follow-up, the hallux valgus angle (HVA), 1st and 2nd intermetararsal angle (IMA), DMAA. Results: The average preoperative HVA, IMA, DMAA measured $36.76^{\circ}$, $13.62^{\circ}$, $26.00^{\circ}$, respectively. At the last follow-up, HVA, IMA, DMAA measured $9.57^{\circ}$, $7.14^{\circ}$, $9.33^{\circ}$. The correction of HVA, IMA, DMAA were $27.19^{\circ}$, $6.48^{\circ}$, $6.67^{\circ}$. At the last follow-up, there were no recurrences and complications, except two patients complained of unsatisfactory stiffness in the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint and subjectively rated their results as fair. The others rated that as excellent or good. At the last follow-up, statistically, the mean HMI scale and FFSS improved significantly from pre-operative score. Conclusions: In the treatment of moderate or severe hallux valgus with increased DMAA by metatarsal double osteotomy and longitudinal pin fixation, we had good functional and radiological results without recurrences and significant complications. But the stiffness in the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint warrants further study.

Fracture and dislocation of the four lateral metatarsal head and neck at the metatarsophalangeal joint, which may be associated with a hyperextension force, axial load, and additional rotating force, has rarely been reported. The patient was a 32-year-old man who sustained the injury in a motor vehicle accident. Manual reduction was easily performed but maintenance of reduction was difficult, due to the associated fractures of the metatarsal necks. Thus percutaneous internal fixation with Kirshner's wires was required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of the parallel-shaped modified Scarf osteotomy which is performed the Scarf osteotomy parallel to the shaft of the 1st metatarsal bone for hallux valgus deformities. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who had been treated by the parallel-shaped modified Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus deformities between January 2006 and March 2011. We evaluated the results after this Scarf osteotomy with respect American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, radiologic results by comparing intermetatarsal angle between 1stand 2nd metatarsal bones and hallux valgus angle. Results: We checked out the pre-operational and post-operational radiologic evaluation of intermetatarsal angle and hallux valgus angle between 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones. The mean AOFAS scores improved from 63.5 to 88.5. At final follow up, The hallux valgus angle improved from $31.4^{\circ}$ (16-52) to $9.0^{\circ}$ (3-13) and the intermetatarsal angle improved from $18.6^{\circ}$ (12-30) to $9.3^{\circ}$ (6-12) postoperatively. There was no case of major complications included recurrence of valgus deformity, correction or fixation failure and stress fractures. Conclusion: Our results suggest the our parallel-shaped modified Scarf osteotomy produces improved AOFAS scores, and effective correction of hallux valgus deformities. Our Scarf technique of osteotomy which is performed in parallel to the metatarsal bone minimizes the need for skill while more reliable and obtaining good correction and avoids associated complications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the measurement differences of simple radiographs according to radiation projection angle using a phantom and to propose methods for objective analysis of simple radiographs. Materials and Methods: We took simple radiographs with different projection angles using a C-arm image intensifier and measured five parameters of the foot on the simple radiographic images. Five parameters include lateral tibiocalcaneal angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, naviculocuboid overlap, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, and lateral calcaneo-first metatarsal angle. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were verified, and then intraclass correlations of parameters were analyzed. Results: Radiographic parameters of the foot showed high intraobserver and interobserver reliability. Lateral tibiocalcaneal angle has a strong negative linear relationship with rotation and a moderate negative linear relationship with tilt. Lateral talocalcaneal angle has a moderate positive linear relationship with rotation and a strong positive linear relationship with tilt. Naviculocuboid overlap has a strong positive linear relationship with rotation and a moderate positive linear relationship with tilt. Lateral talo-first metatarsal angle does not have a linear relationship with rotation and a moderate negative linear relationship with tilt. Lateral calcaneo-first metatarsal angle has a moderate positive linear relationship with rotation and tilt. Conclusion: More precise evaluation of the foot with a simple radiograph can be performed by understanding the changes of radiographic parameters according to radiation projection angle.

Purpose: We examined the relationship of interdigital neuroma occurring site and the surrounding structures, including the deep transverse metatarsal ligament (DTML) by cadaver study and clinical results. Materials and Methods: Seventeen fresh frozen cadavers study were done to evaluate the relationship of interdigital neuroma occuring site and the DTML at two phase of the gait cycle with 60 degree of metatarsophalangeal dorsiflexion and with 15 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion. We measured the distance from interdigital nerve bifurcation of the common digital nerve to anterior margin of the DTML and longitudinal length of DTML itself. Clinically, we checked the location of interdigital neuroma and DTML length during surgery in 32 feet. Results: In the second and third web space, the mean distance from bifurcation of the common digital nerve of foot to the anterior margin of DTML was 16.7 mm, 15.1 mm in the mid-stance position, and 15.9 mm. 14.6 mm in heel-off position. Second, Third web space ligament itself length were average 12.8 mm, 10.6 mm. Clinically, all of the cases of interdigital neuroma started at the bifurcation area of the common digital nerve and interdigital neuroma was average 7.5 mm (range; 6-11 mm). Conclusion: Interdigital neuroma were located more distally than DTML in both the mid-stance and heel off stage. The main lesion was located between metatarsal head and metatarsophalangeal joint and more distal than the DTML anterior margin.

Purpose: The purpose of our report was to evaluate the result of operative treatment of hallux valgus in old age patients. Materials and Methods: We studied about the clinical & radiologic results of the 31 patients over 55 years old, who had operative treatment of hallux valgus. Clinical evaluation, such as pain, activity limitation, footwear requirement, 1st metatarsophalangeal joint motion, and callosity, was done using AOFAS scale and preoperative and postoperative radiologic parameters, such as hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, tibial sesamoid position, 1st metatarsal shortening, were evaluated by conventional methods. Results: Objectively, according to AOFAS, the score improved from average of 57.8 to 71.5 postoperatively. The range of motion of first metatarsophalangeal joint was decreased from average of 60.7 to 56.8 degrees. Radiologically, the hallux valgus angle improved from average of 35 to 6.5 degrees and the first intermetatarsal angle improved from average of 14.2 to 4.4 degrees. The position of sesamoid was collected from an average of grade 3.6 to grade 2.2. Conclusion: The combination of proximal metatarsal osteotomy, distal soft tissue procedure and Akin osteotomy may yield rather satisfactory clinacal result in severe elderly hallux valgus patients with massive degenerative change and poor soft tissue condition.

Purpose: A retrospective review of the radiographs of the proximal metatarsal osteotomy and distal soft tissue procedure for hallux valgus, evaluating the correction of the tibial sesamoid, was undertaken. We evaluated the correlation between the reduction of the tibial sesamoid and the clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: 17 patients (23 cases) with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity underwent the proximal metatarsal osteotomy and distal soft tissue procedure. The preoperative and last follow-up radiographs were reviewed according to the tibial sesamoid grade classification recommended by the Research Committee of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). We divided them into two groups according to the reduction of the tibial sesamoid. We anaylyzed the clinical outcomes in each group according to Mayo Clinic Forefoot Scoring System (FFSS). Results: In all of the patients, the preoperative tibial sesamoid position were grade 2 or greater. At the last follow-up, 52% (n=12) were grade 1 or less (Group I) and 48% (n=11) were grade 2 or greater (Group II). In group I, the forefoot score was improved from preoperative mean value of 32.0 points to final follow-up value of 66.3 points. In group II, the forefoot score was improved from preoperative mean value of 31.7 points to final follow-up value of 65.9 points. There was no statistical significance between postoperative, average scores in group I and II (p>0.05). Conclusion: The position of the tibial sesamoid was corrected insufficiently in almost half of all cases. In view of clinical outcomes, there was no significant difference between the corrected group and the other group.
