Background: Lengthening of the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) is performed to address various forefoot pathologies. The retraction of this tendon is strongly associated with the Hallux Abductus Valgus (HAV) deformity. Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) lengthening of the EHL is carried out in combination with other surgical techniques for HAV bone realignment.

Background: Hallux abducto valgus (HAV), commonly referred to as a bunion, is a prevalent foot deformity with multifactorial etiology, including genetic predisposition, biomechanical abnormalities, and footwear choices. HAV is often managed conservatively with orthotic devices aimed at reducing deformity progression and alleviating associated pain. However, the effectiveness of orthotics in altering radiographic measurements of HAV remains debated.

Background: Closing base wedge osteotomy (CBWO) is a common procedure to correct severe bunion deformities with high intermetatarsal angles. There are few data demonstrating the radiographic success of CBWOs.
Methods: We evaluated the radiographic outcomes of a CBWO.
A number of minimally invasive osteotomies have been described for the repair of hallux abducto valgus (HAV) deformities. However, there are no known published studies that evaluate the effects of minimally invasive surgery techniques on the reduction of frontal plane rotation in patients with HAV. The purpose of this study was to assess correction in the transverse and frontal planes in patients undergoing surgical repair of HAV deformity utilizing a modified percutaneous technique.

BACKGROUND Tarsometatarsal joint (TMJ) arthrodesis is common method used for correcting hallux abductus valgus (HAV). Its popularity has grown due to studies revealing HAV's triplanar deformity with frontal plane rotation. This case report presents a 28-year-old woman with Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, and a history of knee surgery and plantar fasciitis, with severe HAV deformity and flexible valgus flatfoot associated with ligamentous hyperlaxity.
