FAI October 2025 Podcast: First Metatarsal Pronation Correction After Fourth-Generation Percutaneous Transverse Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus
Manage episode 515353574 series 1184316
There is increasing interest in the role of pronation as part of the deformity correction in hallux valgus (HV) especially with the advent of weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) and percutaneous surgical techniques. This study aimed to assess the coronal rotation of the first metatarsal before and after percutaneous distal transverse osteotomy (Metaphyseal Extra-Articular Transverse and Akin Osteotomy [META]) using WBCT and to correlate these findings with clinical outcome scores.
In conclusion, percutaneous distal transverse osteotomy for hallux valgus deformity can significantly correct coronal plane pronation and improve patient-reported outcomes, although correction of pronation was not significantly correlated with clinical improvement.
