Abstract
This is a retrospective study of 27 patients (35 feet) with hallux abducto valgus associated with hallux limitus who underwent a sliding oblique osteotomy for surgical treatment between August 1997 and June 1998. Radiographic analysis and range-of-motion measurements were evaluated with an average follow-up of 65 days (range, 26-100). Preoperative criteria included < 45 degrees of dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with weightbearing, no evidence of degenerative joint disease at the first metatarsocuneiform joint, and no previous surgical procedures on the first ray. The average preoperative intermetatarsal angle was 9 degrees, hallux abductus angle 17 degrees, and first metatarsal declination angle 15 degrees. The average postoperative intermetatarsal angle was 6.6 degrees, hallux abductus angle 10.3 degrees, and first metatarsal declination angle 21.7 degrees. Eighteen patients (22 feet) had a follow-up of over 6 weeks, and the first metatarsophalangeal joint was evaluated. The average gain in postoperative range of motion with weightbearing was 22.3 degrees.
