Popis: Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Multiple operative techniques have been developed for hallux valgus with varying success. While correction has been traditionally achieved through open surgical approaches, there has been a growing interest in minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and patient-reported outcomes for patients undergoing hallux valgus correction with Lapidus, Scarf and MIS. Our hypothesis was that while a superior clinical correction would be achieved with open techniques there would be similar patient-reported outcomes among open and MIS techniques. Methods: A total of 257 patients who underwent Lapidus (n=82), Scarf (n=82) or MIS (n=93) hallux valgus correction between January 2017- January 2020 at one of two academic institutions by 1 of 9 foot and ankle-fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons were included in this study. Only 3 of 9 performed MIS correction. The average age at the time of surgery 55.4 (range 14-79). Patients were required to have a minimum baseline and 1-year postoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Scores (PROMIS) and minimum 3-month clinical follow-up. Retrospective chart review was performed to assess the incidence of postoperative complications and reoperations, with an average clinical follow-up of 8 months. Results: All groups had statistically significant differences between pre- and post-operative measurements of HVA, IMA, DMAA, and tibial sesamoid position (20) (Lapidus n=7 (8.5%), Scarf n=9 (11.0%), MIS n=9 (9.7%)). Conclusion: In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in the use of minimally invasive surgical MIS techniques for the treatment of hallux valgus. When compared with traditional open techniques using Lapidus and Scarf osteotomies MIS presents a safe and effective approach to treating hallux valgus.
