Background: Endolog is an intra-medullary titanium device used for a minimally-invasive hallux valgus correction. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of this device.
Methods: A retrospective study with a prospective data collection was conducted. Patients underwent to Endolog procedures from September 2009 to April 2017 were enrolled. Mild HV deformity (HVA ≤ 19° and IMA ≤ 13°) or associated procedure to Endolog technique were excluded. The radiological (HVA, IMA and PASA) and clinical (AOFAS score) pre and post-operative data were compared through Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test.
Results: 194 feet (144 moderate and 50 severe HV) underwent HV correction respecting study's criteria. AOFAS scores significantly improved from 31.0 ± 12.7 points preoperatively to 88.5 ± 8.0 at 24 months. Even all radiographic measurements significantly improved during 2 years' follow-up. Only 6 patients experienced complications: 4 cases of HV recurrence and 2 cases of intolerance device-related pain.
Conclusions: Endolog technique proved to be a valid option in the moderate-to-severe hallux valgus treatment, comparable to other surgical techniques described in literature.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a very common deformity worldwide. Most of the surgical techniques used in the treatment of HV only correct these deformities in two planes, that is sagittal and transverse planes. The importance of the first metatarsal pronation as an etiological factor of hallux valgus is validated by numerous authors and it is usually unaddressed.

Minimally invasive surgery is becoming more popular, with resultant development of suitable fixation devices. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence on the use of intramedullary devices in hallux valgus first metatarsal corrective osteotomies, and describe clinical and radiological outcomes, with an overview of techniques and implants used.

Background: This study was aimed at assessing clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Minimally Invasive Intramedullary Nail Device (MIIND) to correct moderate to severe hallux valgus (HV) and the long-term persistence of its effects.
Methods: This case series study involved 100 patients, 84 women and 16 men (mean age, 59 years), who underwent the MIIND procedure with a mean follow-up of 97 months. Assessment was performed preoperatively, postoperatively, at 6 and 12 months, and at last follow-up.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the available literature on minimally invasive surgical (MIS) treatment for hallux valgus and to provide an overview of the different surgical techniques.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature available in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database was performed including studies from January 2001 to 1 January 2018. The radiological outcomes (hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA)), complication rates, and clinical outcome scores were evaluated.
