Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is commonly treated with proximal or distal first metatarsal osteotomy. Despite good correction, these procedures have inherent risks such as malunion, nonunion, metatarsal shortening, loss of fixation, and avascular necrosis. Suture button fixation has been used for HV treatment.

The use of staples has been shown to be a reasonable fixation technique to achieve stability of a first MTPJ arthrodesis. Although it has been shown to be a weaker construct than crossed screws or plate and screw combinations, their ease of insertion, low profile, and stability make them a desirable choice for first MTPJ arthrodesis fixation. However, because of this relative weakness, the question remains whether immediate weightbearing when using staples is advisable.

Hemiepiphysiodesis for juvenile hallux valgus deformity: A systematic review.

Foot Ankle Surg

August 2023

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Department of Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Among the numerous surgical interventions for correcting hallux valgus deformity in skeletally immature patients, hemiepiphysiodesis is a simple technique with a low complication rate yet its effectiveness remains unclear. This systematic review evaluates hemiepiphysiodesis of the first metatarsal for treating juvenile hallux valgus (JHV) deformities with respect to radiological outcomes, postoperative clinical outcomes, and postoperative complications.

Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database were searched from inception to September 15th, 2022, for studies investigating hemiepephysiodesis for JHV and its effect on clinical and radiological outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity treated using minimally invasive surgery (MIS), which offers benefits like quicker recovery and better cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional surgery.
  • The study involved testing cadaver specimens to analyze how different osteotomy techniques affected the pressure and contact properties at the foot joints.
  • Results showed that greater shifts in the osteotomy led to decreased pressure and increased loading at the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint, with the Akin osteotomy further enhancing outcomes, while the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint was less affected by these changes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the shapes of the first metatarsal-cuneiform (MTC) joint in feet with hallux valgus (HV) deformity and how these shapes relate to angles associated with HV.
  • Researchers analyzed the shapes in a sample of 315 feet and found that the oblique shape was most common, often linked with more severe forms of HV.
  • The results indicated that the shape of the first MTC joint significantly influences the hallux valgus angle (HVA), while the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) did not show a statistically significant relationship with the joint shape.

Background: Previous simulated weight-bearing CT (WBCT) studies classifying first metatarsal (M1) pronation suggested a high prevalence of M1 hyper-pronation in hallux valgus (HV). These findings have prompted a marked increase in M1 supination in HV surgical correction. No subsequent study confirms these M1 pronation values, and two recent WBCT investigations suggest lower normative M1 pronation values.
