Abstract
Background: Various fixation methods have been described for Akin osteotomy, based on using metal implants or transosseous sutures. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiological outcomes and complications of closing wedge Akin osteotomy based on a crossed suture configuration of the joint capsule rather than using implants. The null hypothesis is that a crossed suture has comparable radiological results to other techniques, with no additional complications.
Methods: It's a retrospective study. Patients who underwent Akin osteotomy fixed either with implant or joint capsule suture between 2015 and 2018 were included. Distal articular set angle corrections in pre- and postoperative anteroposterior foot x-rays were calculated by 2 observers. Complications, such as pain, infection, non-union and need of surgery revision, was compared at 1 year follow-up.
Results: 89 patients, 30 in the implant group and 59 in the suture group. Mean distal articular set angle corrections were 6.43 (SD 5.54) and 7.36 (SD 5.48) degrees in the implant and suture groups, respectively, without statistically significant differences (p 0454). Complications were 2 local pain and 1 wound infection cases in the suture and implant groups, respectively (p 0138, p 0197).
Conclusion: Akin osteotomy with suture fixation yields comparable radiological results to metal implant fixation methods without increasing the associated complications.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
