Comparative Analysis of Minimally Invasive and Open Proximal Chevron-Akin Osteotomies in Moderate-to-Severe Hallux Valgus Deformity

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Studies comparing the minimally invasive proximal chevron and Akin osteotomies (MIPCA) technique with conventional techniques, such as the open proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy with the Akin procedure (open PCMO-Akin procedure), are limited. This study aimed to compare and evaluate operative MIPCA and open PCMO-Akin procedure outcomes in the surgical correction of moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformities. Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparison of clinical and radiographic outcomes between the MIPCA and open PCMO-Akin procedure in patients with a hallux valgus deformity, defined as a preoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA) of ≥ 30° and/or a first to second intermetatarsal angle of ≥ 13°. The postoperative complication rate was monitored in both groups for a minimum of 12 months. An unsatisfactory correction was defined as an HVA > 15° at final follow-up. Results: = 0.315). Conclusions: The MIPCA technique is a viable alternative to the open PCMO-Akin procedure for correcting moderate-to-severe hallux valgus deformities. Given the potential lack of postoperative changes in the DMAA following the MIPCA technique, careful consideration is advised when applying this technique to patients with a large DMAA.
