Treatment of Moderate to Severe Hallux Valgus without Osteotomy or Arthrodesis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, David Decke presents the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus without osteotomy. The study was conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. The purpose of the study was to describe a treatment option that provides long-term correction for hallux valgus without needing surgery. The study involved a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent primary proximal metatarsal realignment with a modified McBride soft tissue procedure. Patients with certain conditions were excluded. The procedure involved realigning the first metatarsal and fixing it with a bioresorbable screw. The study showed that the treatment resulted in improvement in angle measurements and had few complications. The conclusion is that proximal metatarsal realignment is an effective treatment option for moderate to severe hallux valgus.
