Purpose: In order to achieve successful outcome for the hallux valgus surgery, it is mandatory to consider the possible associated hallux valgus interphalangeus, and therefore the hallux interphalangeal angle (HIA) other than hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) has been well appreciated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of hallux interphalangeal angle in the normal and hallux valgus feet and also the statistical correlations of HIA with HVA and IMA in the 2 groups. Materials and Methods: The study is base on the standing foot AP radiographs of the 100 normal feet (HVA<$12^{\circ}$ and $IMA<9^{\circ}$) and 100 hallux valgus feet (HVA>$25^{\circ}$ and IMA>$12^{\circ}$). We measured the hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle and hallux interphalangeal angle, where we defined the hallux valgus interphalangeus when the HIA was more than $10^{\circ}$. We evaluated the incidence of the hallux valgus interphalangeus in the normal and hallux valgus groups and the correlations of the HIA with HVA and IMA. Results: In normal feet group, hallux valgus interphalangeus comprised 82%, while there were only 20% of HVI in hallux valgus group. Among 200 total feet, there was negative correlations between the HVA and HIA as well as IMA and HIA statistically (p<0.01). Conclusion: There was lower incidence of hallux valgus interphalangeus in the hallux valgus group compared to the normal feet group.

Purpose: This study analyzed the clinical and radiographic outcome of the severe hallux valgus corrected with proximal reverse chevron metatarsal osteotomy and Akin osteotomy. Materials and Methods: The study was based on 18 feet (15 patients) of severe hallux valgus (hallux valgus angle ${\geq}40^{\circ}$ or intermetatarsal angle ${\geq}18^{\circ}$) treated with proximal reverse chevron metatarsal osteotomy and followed for more than 1 year. Akin osteotmy was added in 72% of the patients. Clinically preoperative and postoperative AOFAS Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal score, VAS pain score and satisfaction after the surgery were analyzed. Radiologically hallux valgus angle, hallux valgus interphalangeal angle, the intermetatarsal angle and sesamoid position before and after the operation were analyzed. Results: AOFAS Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal score improved from 54.5 (25-78) to 87.7 (70-100) and VAS pain score decreased from 6.0 (3-8) to postoperative 1.2 (0-5). Ninety-six percents of the patients were satisfied with results. Radiologically hallux valgus angle was decreased from $43.3^{\circ}(31-58^{\circ})$ preoperatively to $6.8^{\circ}(-8-27^{\circ})$ postoperatively. The intermetatarsal angle was decreased from $18.4^{\circ}(11-24)^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $5.3^{\circ}(1-12^{\circ})$postoperatively. The sesamoid subluxation was improved from $2.8{\pm}0.4$ preoperatively to $0.4{\pm}0.6$ postoperatively. Conclusion: Proximal reverse chevron metatarsal osteotomy and lateral soft tissue release with additional Akin osteotomy is good treatment option for severe hallux valgus.

Purpose: The authors intended to analyze the operative results of moderate hallux valgus with proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy and distal soft tissue procedure. Materials and Methods: Seventy feet of fifty-seven patients were followed for more than 1 year after the proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy. The mean age was 47.2 years, and the mean follow up period was 2 years and 3 months. Clinically preoperative and postoperative AOFAS MP-IP scale and satisfaction after the surgery were analyzed. Radiologically hallux valgus angle, hallux valgus interphalangeal angle, the intermetatarsal angle and sesamoid position before and after the operation were analyzed. Results: Additional Akin osteotomy was performed 48 out of 70 feet. Clinically AOFAS MP-IP scale was increased from 60.4 points preoperatively to 89.8 points postoperatively. Ninety-four percents of the patients were satisfied with the results. Radiologically hallux valgus angle was decreased from $34.8^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $12.8^{\circ}$ postoperatively. The intermetatarsal angle was decreased from $15.7^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $8.0^{\circ}$ postoperatively. Hallux valgus interphalangeal angle was increased from $7.4^{\circ}$ preoperatively to $9.8^{\circ}$ postoperatively. There were 3 recurrences, 1 hallux varus and 3 minor wound infections. There were no nonunion or malunion of the 1st metatarsal. Conclusion: Proximal chevron metatarsal osteotomy with distal soft tissue procedure and additional Akin osteotomy appears to be safe and satisfactory procedure.

Purpose: To evaluate and analyze the incidence, clinical features, cause and surgical outcomes of iatrogenic hallux varus deformity after hallux valgus surgery. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six Hallux varus deformities after hallux valgus surgery were evaluated. Clinical tolerability, patient's satisfaction and the main causative factor for varus deformity were evaluated. Radiologically, we measured the 1st intermetatarsal angle and hallux valgus angle on pre- & postoperatively. Results: 10 cases of 26 varus deformities were clinically intolerable. The patients complaint of mainly cosmetic and shoe fitting problems rather than pain and the main cause of deformities were over-correction of 1 st intermetatarsal angle. Radiologically, the average 1st intermetatarsal angle was 2.4 degrees and the hallux valgus angle was -9.2 degrees. After varus correction surgery, the average follow up were 17 months and the average 1st intermetatarsal angle was 2.3 degrees and the hallux valgus angle was 2.7 degrees. The average score of AOFAS Hallux Metatarsophalangeal -Interphalangeal Scale was 91 points. Conclusion: The hallux varus deformity after hallux valgus surgery came from mainly overcorrection of 1 st intermetatarsal angle. The management composed of just observation, tendon transfer and fusion, and each method could get satifactory results with appropriate indication.

Purpose: To statistically evaluate the contributing role of the 3 radiographic factors (Obliquity, Asymmetry, Joint deviation) of the hallux valgus interphalangeus with comparison to the normal control group. Materials and Methods: The study is based on the standing foot AP radiographs of the 77 feet (56 patients) of the hallux valgus interphalangeus out of 119 feet of randomly sampled patients of the age range 20 to 60. Fractures or other foot disorders have been excluded. Obliquity, asymmetry and joint deviation factors formed by proximal and distal phalanges of hallux are measured by one observer and evaluated the statistical significance of the contribution of the 3 factors to the hallux interphalangeal angle (HIA). Results: The average age of the patients were 36.0 years old and average HIA was $14.5^{\circ}{\pm}2.8^{\circ}$. Obliquity was measured $4.8^{\circ}{\pm}2.90^{\circ}$, asymmetry $8.2^{\circ}{\pm}3.28^{\circ}$ and joint deviation $2.0^{\circ}{\pm}1.85^{\circ}$. All 3 factors showed the statistical significance as the contributing factors to the HIA and among them, the asymmetry played the biggest role (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hallux interphalangeal angle is formed by 3 radiographic factors (Obliquity, Asymmetry, Joint deviation), and among them the asymmetry factor plays the biggest role.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the proximal metatarsal chevron osteotomy outcomes for moderate to severe hallux valgus more than seven year follow up. Materials and Methods: Between 1996 and 1998, hallux valgus 61 cases were evaluated. The follow up period was more than seven years. The clinical review analyzed by the hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, radiologic review by the hallux valgus angle, first and second intermetatarsal angle. Complication also evaluated. Results: Clinically, preoperative AOFAS score was average 43 points (range; $16{\sim}60$ points) which significantly improved to 88 points (range; $61{\sim}100$ points) at last follow up periods. Radiologically, the mean preoperative, postoperative, last follow up hallux valgus angle was $34^{\circ}$, $5.2^{\circ}$, $10.9^{\circ}$. The mean preoperative, postoperative, last follow up intermetatarsal angle was $15.3^{\circ}$, $3.3^{\circ}$, $5.3^{\circ}$. Postoperative angle change were no statistical significance (p>0.05). Complication were hallux varus 6 cases, metatarsophalangeal joint arthritis 2 cases, recurrence 1 case. Conclusion: Proximal metatarsal chevron osteotomy shows satisfactory outcome for moderate to severe hallux valgus more than seven year follow up.

Purpose: This study was conducted among patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy and groups of patients with or without Akin osteotomy were compared for evaluation of the relationship between their radiological and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: From January 2009 to January 2012, among patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy at our institution, 28 cases with additional Akin osteotomy and 35 cases without Akin osteotomy available to follow up of more than one year were included in this study. For radiologic evaluation, hallux valgus angle, 1, 2 intermetatarsal angle, and hallux interphalangeal angle were measured before and after surgery. For clinical assessment, visual analogue scale score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score, subjective satisfaction of the patients, and passive range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joints were evaluated. Results: At the final follow up, correction of valgus hallux angle and 1, 2 intermetatarsal angle was obtained from radiation results of both groups and it was found that patients who underwent Akin osteotomy showed radiographically larger angle correction but less subjective satisfaction. Conclusion: Patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy showed not only functional but also radiographically satisfactory results, and patients who underwent additional Akin osteotomy showed decreased subjective satisfaction. Therefore, if an incongruent first metatarsophalangeal joint is not observed, distal chevron osteotomy without Akin osteotomy seems preferable.

Purpose: To analyze the risk factors and the treatment results of the distal chevron osteotomy for the hallux valgus in young adult. Materials and Methods: Eleven cases of hallux valgus in 9 patients who underwent the distal chevron osteotomy between February 2000 and January 2004 were included for the study. For the clinical evaluation, we used hallux-metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal scale of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). For radiological evaluation, we measured hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA). Results: Five patients had family history of hallux valgus. Symptoms were aggravated by military drill and sports activity. The average AOFAS scale was 62.5 preoperatively, and 88.4 at final follow-up. The HVA and IMA were $34.9^{\circ}$, and $15.8^{\circ}$ preoperatively, $16.3^{\circ}$ and $8.2^{\circ}$ at postoperative 6 weeks, and $19.9^{\circ}$ and $9.8^{\circ}$ at final follow-up. Conclusion: The symptoms of hallux valgus in young adults were aggravated by military drill and sports activity. Distal chevron osteotomy was useful for the treatment of the moderate to severe hallux valgus in young patients.

Purpose: Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity that causes pain in the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Distal metatarsal osteotomies are commonly performed as a treatment. This retrospective study compared the clinical and radiological results of bioabsorbable magnesium (Mg) versus titanium (Ti) screw fixation for modified distal chevron osteotomy in HV. Materials and Methods: Forty-nine patients, who underwent modified distal chevron osteotomy for HV in 2018 and 2019, were reviewed retrospectively. Bioabsorbable Mg screw fixation was applied in 20 patients (22 feet), and a traditional Ti compression screw was applied in 29 patients (40 feet). The patients were followed up for at least six months. The clinical results were evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal (AOFAS-MTP-IP) scale and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) were measured before, after surgery, and at the six months follow-up. Results: The AOFAS-MTP-IP scale and VAS points were improved in both groups, with no significant difference between them. At the six-month follow-up, HVA, IMA, and DMAA were similar. Bone union was confirmed in both groups, and there were no significant major complications in both groups. Four people in the Ti screw group underwent implant removal surgery. Conclusion: Bioabsorbable Mg screws showed comparable clinical, radiologic results to Ti standard screws six months after distal modified chevron osteotomy. These screws are an alternative fixation material that can be used safely and avoid the need for implant removal operations.
