| Popis: | Introduction Hallux varus is the medial deviation of the hallux. Although rare, it can cause discomfort, functional weakness, difficulty with shoe wear, and dissatisfactory cosmesis. This study reports 3 cases of hallux varus treated using extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon transfer with or without the use of reverse scarf osteotomy (RSO). Methods This cases series studies the technique of using EHL tendon transfer and the role for RSO in the surgical correction of hallux varus. Indication for RSO included osseous overcorrection in the index hallux valgus surgery or as an adjunct when EHL tendon transfer alone was unable to restore alignment. Patients were followed-up for 24 months and their postoperative outcomes were recorded. Results All patients were female between the ages 55 to 67 years. Radiological parameters after surgery improved in all patients. The mean hallux-valgus angle was corrected from −23.7 ± 3.5° to −3.2 ± 2.0° postoperatively ( P < .05). Intermetatarsal angle was increased from 5.0 ± 1.9° to 6.7 ± 1.0° ( P = .065). Distal metatarsal articular angle improved from −28.9 ± 7.6° to −7.8 ± 3.7° ( P < .05). Mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores improved from 37 ± 24 to 75 ± 9 ( P = .064) at 24 months. In addition, visual analogue scale pain scores reduced from 5 ± 1.5 to 1 ± 1 ( P < .05). All patients reported being satisfied with the procedure, and no complications were reported at 24 months after surgery. Conclusion Hallux varus correction using EHL tendon transfer with or without RSO appears to provide satisfactory results at 24 months. Levels of Evidence Level V: Expert opinion, Techniques |
