Third-Generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus: Three-Year Outcomes.

Introduction: Numerous minimally invasive techniques have been developed for Hallux Valgus in recent years. Third-generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) osteotomy has shown promising early results, but longer-term follow-up is required to assess whether patient clinical and radiological improvement is sustained. This cohort study presents three-year follow-up outcomes for patients of a single surgeon case series.

A Systematic Review of Open and Minimally Invasive Surgery for Treating Recurrent Hallux Valgus.

 Despite advancements in primary correction of hallux valgus (HV), significant rates of reoperation remain across common techniques, with complications following primary correction up to 50% according to some studies. 1 This study explored different methods of surgery currently used in treating HV recurrence specifically (for which literature on the subject has been limited), evaluating open and adapted minimally invasive surgical (MIS) primary techniques used for revision.  In December 2020, literature search for both open and MIS surgical techniques in HV revision was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE library databases.
