Purpose: We compared the result of a proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy and soft tissue procedure with a modified chevron osteotomy and soft tissue procedure in the treatment of hallux valgus. Materials and Methods: Between March 1999 and February 2003, we performed proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy and soft tissue procedure on 17 feet (12 patients), and modified chevron osteotomy and soft tissue procedure on 12 feet (9 patients). Results: According to Mayo clinic forefoot scoring system (FFSS), group 1, with proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy, shows 67.2 points postoperatively and group 2, with modified chevron osteotomy, shows 68.5 points postoperatively. In group 1, the average correction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was 20.8 degrees and 4.8 degrees, respectively. In group 2, the average correction of hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was 19.9 degrees and 4.7 degrees, respectively. The average shortening was 3.15 mm in group 1 and 1.38 mm in group 2. Conclusion: We obtained relatively good clinical and radiographic result in this study. The effect on shortening of the first metatarsal was greater in the proximal metatarsal closed wedge osteotomy than modified chevron osteotomy, but the metatarsal shortening did not related with metatarsalgia. So, both techniques seems optimal surgical treatment for hallux valgus deformity.

Purpose: In this study, we introduced a newly developed technique of operation for hallux valgus. We used a single dorsal incision to correct major components of Bunion in stead of two or three incisions, which had been used by most of surgeons for long time. Materials and Methods: Between 2003 and 2005, 27 feet with hallux valgus deformity were operated through single dorsal incision. 10 out of 17 patients underwent operation on both feet, 5 patient underwent operation on left feet, remaining 2 underwent operation on right. There were 16 women and 1 man. Average age of patients was 45 (range, 21-59). Post operatively all feet were evaluated by physical examination, Maryland Foot score profile, radiographic measurements and complication. Results: Maryland foot score profile increased from preoperative 67/100 to postoperative 95/100. Most patients satisfied pain relieve and cosmesis. Average preoperative intermetatarsal angle was 15 degrees, which were decreased to 9 degrees after operation and average preoperative hallux valgus angle was 32 degrees, which were decreased to 12 degrees after operation. Conclusion: According to our experience, the single dorsal incision technic for correction of moderate to severe hallux valgus deformities was rather safe and easily performed without noticeable complication with almost same results as multiple incisions technics. We highly recommend this technic to be tried by foot surgeons without hesitation.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographical results of triple osteotomy as a treatment for adult hallux valgus with highly increased distal metatarsal articular ankle (DMAA). Materials and Methods: From October 2003 to April 2005, we retrospectively reviewed 7 hallux valgus patients (3 cases: moderate, 4 cases: severe) treated with triple osteotomy and followed-up for more than 1 year after operation. The mean follow up was 15.1 months. The hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) and the length of 1 : 2 metatarsal bone were measured. Proximal chevron osteotomy and distal biplanar chevron osteotomy were done in 1st metatarsal bone. Akin osteotomy was added to the base of the proximal phalanx. The clinical result was assessed using the AOFAS Hallux score, tenderness on the medial eminence, ROM of 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, calluses and patient satisfaction. Results: The mean HVA and IMA was improved from $37.5^{\circ}$ and $13.4^{\circ}$ to $10.5^{\circ}$ and $6.2^{\circ}$ respectively. The mean DMAA was corrected from $34.2^{\circ}$ to $11.2^{\circ}$ and mean shortening of 1st metatarsal was 2.4 mm (0.9-5.8 mm). The mean AOFAS hallux score was improved from 66.4 to 92.5 and VAS score (pain on the medial eminence) from 4.3 points to 0.4 points. Metatarsalgia disappeared in all cases and there was no complications such as necrosis of the metatarsal head. Conclusion: Triple osteotomy for adult hallux valgus with a highly increased DMAA is effective and should be considered as a part of the treatment armamentarium.

Purpose: When medial protrusion in the base of proximal phalanx is severe from removing metatarsal bunion during the hallux valgus surgery, it could lead to skin irritation and medial pain after the surgery. The purpose of this paper was to report our clinical and radiographic results with transarticular fixation of Akin osteotomy for the treatment of patients with hallux valgus after resection of the medial protrusion of base of the proximal phalanx. Materials and Methods: Our study is subject to 34 cases of 30 patients who went through proximal phalanx medial corticectomy among patients undergone both hallux valgus surgery and Akin osteotomy at our institution from March 2006 to March 2012. In all cases, we used absorbable suture material through the articular surface for Akin osteotomy after resection of the medial protrusion in proximal phalanx. Radiographs were reviewed to assess the union and displacement of osteotomy site at the time of postoperative 6 months. The clinical results were assessed by using AOFAS score and complication such as skin irritation and pain. Results: AOFAS score was improved from average 44 points(36-58), before operation and average 87 points(74-96), 12 months after operation. In two cases, partial union was suspected in radiological perspective, however, complete union on the osteotomy site was observed in all cases, 12 months after the operation. No patients was dissatisfied with pain, joint discomfort, skin irritation and inflammation from the knot. Conclusion: When medial protrusion in the base of proximal phalanx is severe from removing metatarsal bunion during the hallux valgus surgery, We have good results by transarticular fixation of Akin osteotomy using absorbable suture material.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of hallux valgus on the ankle plantarflexor and dorsiflexor peak torque, on the total work, on the average power, and on the Peak torque of plantarflexor to dorsiflexor ratio values. Isokinetic ankle plantarflexor and dorsiflexor strength was evaluated in 30 women(control: 15, hallux valgus: 15) by Cybex NORM System. Test data was gathered in the right ankle at a speed of 60/sec, 90/sec, 120/sec in the control group and the hallux valgus group. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 10.0 for windows software. Mean and standard deviations were measured and calculated for the General characterristic of subjects. A paired t-test was used to examine the differnces in the means for the ankle plantarflexor and dorsiflexor between two groups. Pearson coefficient correlation was used to examine the correlation of the hallux valgus and the peak torque. Analysis of variance indicated that isokinetic values of the control group were greater than the hallux valgus group(p<.05, p<.01).

Purpose: We evaluated the result of operative treatment of the hallux valgus in male patients. Materails and Methods: Total 11 cases (10 patients) of the hallux valgus deformity that treated with operation were evaluated. Following Mann's radiological classification system, there was 1 cases of mild, 8 cases of moderate, and 2 cases of severe. Preoperative, postoperative, postoperative 3 months and postoperative 6 months follow up standing radiographs were used as radiologic evaluation. And we evaluated radiological outcomes by hallux valgus angle (HVA), first-second intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), proximal phalangeal articular angle (PPAA) and clinical outcomes by hallux-metatarsophalangeal scale of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Result: Radiologically, the mean preoperative HVA $37^{\circ}$ and IMA $13.7^{\circ}$ were improved postoperatively as HVA $11.9^{\circ}$ and IMA $4.7^{\circ}$, and the mean preoperative DMMA $29.4^{\circ}$ and PPAA $8.6$ were improved postoperatively DMMA $13.9^{\circ}$ and PPAA $7^{\circ}$. But, postoperative 6 months follow up HVA, IMA, DMMA and PPAA was increased at $14.2^{\circ}$, $6.3^{\circ}$, $16.1^{\circ}$ and $8.3^{\circ}$. Average AOFAS score were improved from 61.2 points to 75.2 points. Conclusion: In our study, operative treatment of hallux valgus in male patients with proximal metatarsal osteotomy and distal soft tissue procedure showed good results but it was necessary to pay attention to increase aspect of follow up radiologic measurements.

Purpose: The authors intended to analyze the operative results of mild to moderate hallux valgus treated with distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy. Materials and Methods: Twenty six feet of twenty three patients were followed for more than 1 year after the distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy. Biplanar osteotomy with wedge resection was done when the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) was increased. The mean age was 39 years, and the mean follow up period was 27 months. Clinically preoperative and postoperative AOFAS hallux MP-IP scale and satisfaction after the surgery were analyzed. Radiologically hallux valgus angle, the 1st intermetatarsal angle, DMAA and sesamoid position before and after the operation were analyzed. Results: Distal chevron osteotomy was done in 15 cases and biplanar osteotomy was done in 11 cases. Clinically AOFAS scale was increased from 65.3 points preoperatively to 92.2 points postoperatively. Two patients were not satisfied with the results. Radiologically hallux valgus angle was decreased from $21.9^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $8.5^{\circ}$ postoperatively. The first intermetatarsal angle was decreased from $11.8^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $6.7^{\circ}$ postoperatively. DMAA was decreased from $11.8^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $5.5^{\circ}$ postoperatively. There was one case of minor wound infection. Conclusion: Distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy appears to be safe and satisfactory procedure for mild to moderate hallux valgus.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of Kidner procedure combined with medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) in patients with the symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus. Materials and Methods: From January 2014 to January 2019, fifteen patients (15 cases) who had undergone a Kidner procedure combined with MDCO for symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus were included. Their mean age was 36.3 years old (19~61 years old) and there were 6 males and 9 females. The clinical results were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, and postoperative subjective satisfaction. The radiographic results were evaluated using the talonavicular coverage angle and the anteroposterior talo-first metatarsal angle, the lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, the calcaneal pitch angle, and the hindfoot alignment angle. The postoperative complications were also evaluated. Results: The VAS and AOFAS midfoot scores continuously improved until 12 months after surgery. Subjective satisfaction after surgery was excellent in 10 cases and good in 5 cases. The hindfoot alignment angle significantly changed after surgery. Pain due to lateral impingement disappeared in five patients, and persisted in one patient. Five patients complained of irritation caused by their fixation devices, and all the symptoms improved after removal of the fixation devices. Conclusion: Kidner procedure combined with MDCO in patients with the symptomatic accessory navicular with hindfoot valgus showed good clinical results with satisfactory correction of hindfoot valgus. In particular, the clinical results showed continuous improvement until 12 months after surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological and clinical results of modified scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus with lesser metatarsalgia. Materials and Methods: Total 19 patients (24 feet) were reviewed by medical records and radiographs. All patients were female and the mean age at the time of operation was 46.4 years. The mean follow-up time was 14.8 months. We modified original scarf osteotomy by adding the procedure of closing wedge osteotomy at the medial side of distal fragment for achieving of the supination of the first metatarsal head. Additionally, Akin osteotomy of the first proximal phalanx was done in 16 patients (20 feet) and no lesser metatarsal operation was done. First-second intermetatarsal, hallux valgus and distal metatarsal articular angles were analyzed radiologically before and after the operation. And 3-dimensional CT was used to evaluate the supination of the first metatarsal head. Clinical results were assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and persistence of lesser metatarsalgia. Results: First-second intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angles were reduced from the mean pre-operative values of $14.2^{\circ}$ and $32.5^{\circ}$ to $8^{\circ}$ and $12.5^{\circ}$, respectively, 12 months after the operation. And the supination of the first metatarsal head was confirmed by 3-dimensional CT. The mean AOFAS score improved from 41.4 points pre-operatively to 87.2 points at follow-up. Lesser metatarsalgia still remained in 2 patients (2 feet). Conclusion: Modified scarf osteotomy would be an effective surgical procedure, especially, for achieving downward displacement and supination of the first metatarsal head in hallux valgus with lesser metatarsalgia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment outcomes of distal chevron osteotomy with those of proximal metatarsal closing wedge osteotomy in patients with moderate severity hallux valgus. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients (51 feet) who were underwent either distal chevron osteotomy (Group I, 22 patients, 27 feet) or proximal metatarsal closing wedge osteotomy (Group II, 20 patients, 24 feet) for the correction of moderate hallux valgus deformity were evaluated retrospectively. We assessed the radiographic results with several parameters including hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA) and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). And clinical results with modified AOFAS score at last follow-up. Results: There were no significant differences in IMA, HVA and DMAA between two groups preoperatively. We can achieve the good results with both procedures, but mean HVA and IMA of group II was significantly lower than those of group I. There was some loss of correction in group I at the last follow-up. There was no significant difference in clinical results according to modified AOFAS scoring between two groups at the last follow-up. Conclusion: The proximal metatarsal closing wedge osteotomy for the hallux valgus with moderate severity is better treatment option to achieve better radiographic correction and to prevent loss of correction or recurrence than distal chevron osteotomy.
