Midfoot width changes after first metatarsal osteotomy in hallux valgus surgery: A biomechanical effect?
Foot 2024 Februrary 10
Hallux valgus is a challenging pathology characterized by a valgus deformity in the metatarsophalangeal area of the first ray. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of first metatarsal osteotomy on the relationship between midfoot bones in patients with hallux valgus. The sample consisted of patients from the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic who underwent surgical treatment for hallux valgus. Preoperative and postoperative X-rays were compared regarding the width of the midfoot and the tarsometatarsal joint. The sample consisted of 17 women, with 22 feet assessed in each group. The distance from the medial cuneiform to the cuboid, the distance from the intermediate cuneiform to the cuboid, the distance between the first and fifth metatarsals, and the distance between the second and fifth metatarsals reduced significantly between pre- and postoperative assessments. Hallux valgus correction through osteotomy of the first metatarsal leads to a structural change in the midfoot. Further studies should determine whether these changes persist over time.
