| Popis: | Background:The objective of the study was to assess the influence of the type of fixation of the Akin osteotomy when used during hallux valgus surgery.Methods:Between 2013 and 2016, we performed 138 Akin osteotomy procedures employing a staple (group A, 43 patients), screw (group B, 47 patients), and single or double transosseous suture stabilization (group C, 48 patients). We assessed the pre- and postoperative interphalangeal angle (IPA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) on dorsoplantar and lateral foot weightbearing x-rays and used the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux-metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale for preoperative and 12-month postoperative follow-up clinical assessment. All the complications and costs of implant usage were recorded.Results:In all the groups, the average HVA (A: from 33.4 to 13.1 degrees; B: from 32.8 to 14.1 degrees; C: from 31.9 to 12.9 degrees), IMA (A: from 14.4 to 7.2 degrees; B: from 13.9 to 6.9 degrees; C: from 14.5 to 7.1 degrees), and IPA (A: from 12.1 to 5.6 degrees; B: from 11.7 to 6.0 degrees; C: from 12.5 to 5.9 degrees) decreased. The average AOFAS score improved in groups A (from 45 to 91 points), B (from 42 to 90 points), and C (from 42 to 91 points). We observed 1 recurrence after the single-tunnel suture fixation, 1 prominent screw, and 1 staple soft tissue irritation. We did not find a delayed union or nonunion.Conclusion:The suture fixation of the Akin osteotomy provides results comparable to other forms of stabilization. The procedure is cost saving and helps to avoid hardware-related complications. Despite the type of bunion surgery used, fixation of the Akin osteotomy with suture was as good as more expensive and potentially more complicated fixation methods.Level of Evidence:Level III, retrospective comparative study. |
