Abstract
Summary A multitude of different surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of hallux valgus. Since more than 15 years, percutaneous technique has been introduced in Europe by Mariano de Prado. The authors report the result of a mini invasive technique: the percutaneous chevron, the union of the classic stable fixed approach and the less invasive principle of the percutaneous technique. 100 feet has been analyzed radiologically. The mean intermetatarsal angle was 14.5° preoperatively and 5.5° at the last follow-up. The mean correction was 9°. The mean hallux valgus angle was 33.7° preoperatively and 7.3° at the last follow-up. The patient reported satisfaction rate was 95% good / excellent results. The percutaneous chevron seems to offer a stable, effective and reproducible correction of hallux valgus deformity with the advantages of a minimally-invasive technique.
