What's New in Hallux Valgus Surgery - Oliver N. Schipper, MD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Oliver Schipper discusses the latest developments in Hallux Valgus surgery. He starts by presenting a paper on the use of an opioid-free protocol for post-operative pain management in Hallux Valgus surgery. The study, which included 51 patients, showed that the opioid-free protocol was as effective as the opioid-containing protocol in terms of pain control. Schipper then discusses the short-term positive outcomes of the third-generation PICA or MICA technique, as well as its application in moderate to severe Hallux Valgus deformities. He also mentions a study on the medium-term outcomes of the MICA-PICA technique. Additionally, Schipper talks about the short-term outcomes of the fourth-generation PICA or MITA technique and its clinical applications. He emphasizes the importance of careful screw placement to maintain stability and reduce the need for screw removal. Schipper concludes by highlighting the benefits of using a transverse osteotomy in Hallux Valgus surgery and the use of chilled saline during the procedure to prevent heat generation. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
