Abstract
Hallux valgus is a complex three-dimensional deformity. Surgical correction of the hallux valgus is technically demanding and has a significant risk of recurrence and complications. There is a learning curve associated with the operative technique. The aim of the realignment procedures include.
•
Re-positioning the first metatarsal head over the sesamoids
•
Restoring the intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angles to normal levels
•
A congruous metatarsophalangeal joint
Great toe metatarsophalangeal fusion offers an effective salvage option for recurrent hallux valgus and severe deformities. Clinical and radiological examination aid choice of operative management of the deformity of the great toe. Different techniques may be prioritised according to the patient's presentation.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (JAJS) is committed to bring forth scientific manuscripts in the form of original research articles, current concept reviews, meta-analyses, case reports and letters to the editor. The focus of the Journal is to present wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the problems of the joints that are amenable with Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. Though Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty entail surgical procedures, the Journal shall not restrict itself to these purely surgical procedures and will also encompass pharmacological, rehabilitative and physical measures that can prevent or postpone the execution of a surgical procedure. The Journal will also publish scientific research related to tissues other than joints that would ultimately have an effect on the joint function.
