| Popis: | Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a common cause of pain and deformity of the forefoot. Minimally invasive chevron Akin (MICA) bunionectomy is a method for HV correction associated with less pain and swelling, with early return to weightbearing in a regular shoe. The purpose of this study was to determine how the MICA procedure affects forefoot width. Methods: Twenty-eight patients (26 female, 2 male; 9 left, 19 right) at a single institution who underwent primary MICA for HV correction by 3 treating surgeons were retrospectively reviewed. Pre- and postoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), bony forefoot width, and soft tissue forefoot width were measured by 2 independent observers. Radiographic measurements were calibrated using fifth metatarsal length. Wilcoxon signed rank test compared changes in HVA, IMA, DMAA, and forefoot widths. Pearson correlation coefficient evaluated association between HVA, IMA, DMAA, and changes in forefoot width. Results: At mean follow-up of 5.4 (range 3-13.7) months, bony forefoot width decreased significantly by 3.7 mm (4%, P |
