Effect of Bipartite Hallucal Sesamoid on Hallux Valgus Surgery.
Foot & Ankle International 2017 June
BACKGROUND: Bipartite hallucal sesamoids are often found in patients with hallux valgus. However, it is unknown whether bipartite hallucal sesamoids affect the results of hallux valgus surgery or not. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus with and without bipartite hallucal sesamoid.
METHODS: A total of 152 patients (168 feet) treated with distal or proximal chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus constituted the study cohort. The 168 feet were divided into 2 groups: bipartite hallucal sesamoid (31 feet) and without bipartite hallucal sesamoid (137 feet). Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), tibial sesamoid position, and first metatarsal length were measured for radiographic outcomes and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal (MTP-IP) score was measured for clinical outcomes.
RESULTS: All radiographic measurements and the AOFAS score showed significant ( P < .05) improvement at the time of final follow-up compared with preoperative measurements in both groups. No significant differences ( P > .05) were found between the 2 groups in terms of HVA, IMA, DMAA, tibial sesamoid position, metatarsal shortening, and AOFAS score on final follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that bipartite hallucal sesamoids do not affect the results of hallux valgus surgery.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
