AI Article Synopsis

  • Lindgren-Turan osteotomy is a surgical procedure for correcting hallux valgus deformity that traditionally doesn't involve capsular repair.
  • This study compares the outcomes of the osteotomy alone versus the osteotomy combined with a new technique called transosseous capsuloplasty.
  • Results indicate that adding capsuloplasty significantly improves both clinical and radiological outcomes, with greater recovery noted in sesamoid position and patient satisfaction.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Lindgren-Turan osteotomy used in hallux valgus deformity is a subcapital, transverse displacement osteotomy of the first metatarsal without any additional capsular repair. The aims of this study are to describe a transosseous capsuloplasty technique in this procedure and evaluate whether capsuloplasty would improve the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity.

Methods: Twenty-three feet operated by Lindgren-Turan osteotomy (Group B) and 25 feet operated by the same osteotomy combined with transosseous capsuloplasty (Group A) were evaluated retrospectively for the correction of the hallux valgus, intermetatarsal and distal metatarsal articular angles, sesamoid reduction, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Clinical Rating Scale as well as patient satisfaction. The mean postoperative follow-up was 14 (range 12-28) months.

Results: All radiological parameters improved considerably as a result of both groups. However, postoperative improvements in intermetatarsal and distal metatarsal articular angles were greater in Group A. Complete reduction of medial sesamoid was achieved in 52% of patients in Group A, whereas 17.4% of patients in Group B had complete reduction. AOFAS scores and number of patients with complete satisfaction in Group A were significantly greater than that in Group B.

Conclusion: Better clinical and radiological outcomes can be achieved in patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus deformity operated by Lindgren-Turan distal metatarsal osteotomy, when it combines with transosseous capsuloplasty.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of distal chevron metatarsal osteotomy associated with lateral joint capsule split as only lateral soft tissue release in patients with symptomatic moderate and severe hallux valgus (HV) deformity. Ninety patients (103 feet) at our institution between January 2014 and December 2019 were included in the present retrospective study. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up by means of weight bearing radiographs lateral and dorsoplantar views.

Objective: To probe the influence of early rehabilitation nursing on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with hallux valgus on the basis of information-motivation-behavior skills (IMB) model.

Methods: Convenience sampling was adopted, and 80 patients with hallux valgus admitted to the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 2020 to July 2022 were randomly separated into control group (CG) and observation group (OG) with 40 patients in each group according to the time of admission. Patients in the CG received routine nursing and rehabilitation guidance and follow-up.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a complex, multiplanar deformity. In this study, we examined the interrelationships between various components of this deformity using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT). We hypothesized that the severity of traditional axial plane deformities would correlate with malpositioning of the metatarsosesamoid complex, first-ray coronal rotational deformity, and malalignment of the hindfoot and midfoot.
