COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH HALLUX VALGUS USING A VARIOUS COMBINED BONE AND TENDON TECHNIQUES
Abstract
Background. Th e aim of the present study was to compare the methods of adductor hallucis muscle fixation in treatment of patients with hallux valgus followed by a modifi ed scarf procedure.
Methods. Th e data on 40 patients (60 feet) with hallux valgus that were operated on between 2011 and 2015 in St. Petersburg hospital 2, using modifi ed scarf procedure combined with adductor hallucis muscle transposition was analysed. Functional assessment (AOFAS score) and X-ray examination were performed preoperatively, 3, 6 and 12 months aft er the procedure. Comparative analysis between groups with anchor fi xation and bone suture has been carried out.
Results. We did not fi nd any signifi cant diff erence between these two groups in mean AOFAS score, which improved to 86,5 ± 7,1 in bone suture group and 84,7 ± 5,9 in anchor group 12 months after the surgery. 12 months aft er surgery in mean intermetatarsal angle was 8,5 ± 0,7° in group 1 and 8,7 ± 0,7° in group 2 (p > 0,05). Th ere was no signifi cant diff erence between radiographic parameters in both groups, except mean metatarsophalangeal angle 12 months aft er the operation (13,3 ± 1,1° and 12,7 ± 1,0° (р < 0,05), which was better in anchor group. Nevertheless the diff erence 0,6° was out of practical importance and did not exceed the computational error. Conclusion. According to data obtained, modifi ed scarf procedure combined with adductor hallucis muscle transposition with anchor fi xation compared to bone suture does not improve functional and x-ray results though facilitating this stage of the operation.
