La laxitud y la hipermovilidad tarso metatarsiana favorecen su desarrollo. El objetivo de este trabajo es plantear una patología tridimensional, y elaborar un algoritmo quirúrgico para cada patrón de deformidad, incorporando el componente rotacional del metatarsiano. \u0000Materiales y métodos: evaluamos prospectivamente una serie de 89 casos entre febrero de 2020 y febrero 2021, 80 mujeres y 9 hombres. Nivel de evidencia IV. La edad promedio fue 39 años y el seguimiento 11.3 meses. Utilizamos la clasificación de Hardy-Clapham y separamos 2 grupos, los hallux sin componente rotacional (tipo 1 a 3), y aquellos con componente rotacional (tipo 4 a 7). \u0000Resultados: el 59% entraron en el primer grupo, a los cuales se realizó osteotomía distal en chevron acorde a la deformidad en el plano frontal. El 41 % restante tuvo componente rotacional, y se realizó una osteotomía distal en chevron rotacional, crecientica en la base, o artrodesis de Lapidus modificada, según la deformidad en plano frontal o inestabilidad asociada. Consolidaron todos pacientes. AOFAS 94.5%, VAS 0.71 y 100% de satisfacción. \u0000Discusión: el componente rotacional es fundamental en la interpretación del hallux valgus, pero no es el único para tener en cuenta. El mismo puede no estar presente o no ser trascendente, y se alcanzan excelentes resultados como los publicados por décadas. Es fundamental diferenciar los pacientes con componente rotacional para realizar el tratamiento adecuado. \u0000Conclusión: considerando el hallux valgus una patología tridimensional, proponemos un protocolo de tratamiento acorde para cada paciente.","PeriodicalId":21602,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of the Foot & Ankle","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80395705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 26 HV feet and 20 control feet were analyzed with CR and WBCT. Hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), interphalangeal angle (IPA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), sesamoid station (SS), and first metatarsal head shape were measured. Chi-square tests were used to compare hallux valgus and control patients. T-tests were used to compare CR and WBCT. P-values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results: WBCT was capable of discriminating patients with HV from controls, showing higher mean values for HV patients than controls in HVA (35.29 and 9.02, p < 0.001), IMA (16.01 and 10.01, p < 0.001), and DMAA (18.90 and 4.10, p < 0.001). When comparing the two methods, differences were not significant between CR and WBCT measurements in HVA (-0.84, p = 0.79), IMA (-0.93, p = 0.39), IPA (1.53, p = 0.09), or SS (p = 0.40), but were significant for DMAA (13.43, p < .0001). CR analysis yielded varied metatarsal head shapes, while all WBCT shape classifications were round. Conclusion: Unidimensional HV measurements were similar between WBCT and CR, while more three-dimensional findings were not. CR may be used to assess the axial aspects of HV, but multidimensional aspects of the deformity may not be accurately assessed with plain radiographs.

By the end of the procedure, we observed PTT integrity, normal excursion, and mild tendinosis.
