Comparison of the Minimally Invasive Reverdin-Isham Lateral Translation Osteotomy Versus the Standard Reverdin-Isham Technique: A Pilot Prospective Cohort Study.

Reverdin-Isham osteotomy is effective in correcting moderate hallux valgus deformity but has certain limitations when correcting a deformity in the sagittal plane. This study aimed to evaluate the impact on pain, functionality, and radiological measures of angular corrections, and the safety of the Reverdin-Isham lateral translation technique through minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of a moderate hallux valgus compared to Reverdin-Isham standard osteotomy. A pilot 6-month prospective cohort study was conducted on adults over 18 years old with a hallux valgus in at least one foot.

Use of Plantar Pressure Sensors to Take Weight-Bearing Foot Casts.

Techniques of taking casts mainly rely not on the objectivity of the procedure, but on the experience and skill of the technician. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficiency of a technique of taking standing foot casts controlled via pressure sensors. In this way, we mean to objectivize the degree of correction.

Medium-Term Outcomes of Chevron Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus Correction in a Spanish Population: Radiologic and Clinical Parameters and Patient Satisfaction.

Background: Chevron osteotomy for mild and moderate hallux valgus obtains good effects. It is suitable for a variety of cases, allowing for a significant degree of correction. This study aimed to investigate chevron osteotomy for the correction of hallux valgus in the medium-term by podiatric surgeons.
