A radiographic/CT study found that lateral wedge osteotomy at the first metatarsal base in modified Lapidus procedures resects substantially more peroneus longus insertion than osteotomy at the medial cuneiform, potentially affecting first-ray stability.
Minimally Invasive vs Open Lapidus Bunionectomy: 1-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes.
In 140 patients, MIS and open Lapidus bunionectomy produced similar 1-year PROMIS outcomes despite slight differences in radiographic correction, suggesting either approach yields comparable patient-reported results.
PASS thresholds for the EFAS score after hallux valgus surgery are 20.5 at 6 months and 23.5 at 2 years, providing clinically meaningful interpretation benchmarks for future studies.
This study introduces the articular dislocation angle (ADA) to quantify first MTP joint subluxation in hallux valgus, showing it contributes increasingly to deformity severity and refining the HVA = DMAA + DASA + ADA relationship to guide surgical planning.
MITO with proximal phalangeal osteotomy achieved excellent radiographic correction and noninferior pain relief in RA patients compared to non-RA patients.
ChatGPT and Gemini provided reliable, high-quality theoretical information on minimally invasive bunion surgery but failed on actionability and were too complex for general readers.
Hallux valgus surgery carries 93% revision-free survival at 25 years with low 90-day complication rates, confirming safety and durability.
Percutaneous distal transverse osteotomy with screw fixation successfully treats recurrent hallux valgus across severity levels with improved clinical and radiographic outcomes.
Revision of Recurrent Hallux Valgus.
Hallux valgus recurrence occurs in up to 64.7% after surgery; arthrodesis of tarsometatarsal or metatarsophalangeal joint recommended for severe recurrent deformities.
Metatarsal Pronation in Hallux Valgus Deformity: A Review.
Hallux valgus is increasingly recognized as a multiplanar deformity with metatarsal pronation—seen in up to 87% of cases on CT—driving recurrence risk and guiding supination-focused surgical correction.
Use of Advanced Weightbearing Imaging in Evaluation of Hallux Valgus.
Weightbearing cone beam CT offers more reliable 3D measurements (HV and intermetatarsal angles) than conventional radiographs for evaluating hallux valgus deformity.
Hallux Valgus: Demographics, Etiology, and Radiographic Assessment
Hallux valgus typically presents with positive family history, bilateral involvement, long first metatarsal, and oval MTP joint; increased first ray mobility is less common than traditionally believed.
Standardized angular measurements for hallux valgus evaluation endorsed by American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society to enable uniform assessment and comparison of deformity correction.
Juvenile Hallux Valgus: Etiology and Treatment
In a 45-patient study, tailored surgical approaches based on deformity severity and distal metatarsal articular angle achieved 92% good-to-excellent correction of juvenile hallux valgus.
