Abstract
Juvenile hallux valgus deformity (JHVD) is rare but may be associated with symptoms or deformities that require surgical treatment. Literature recommends waiting to perform surgical treatment until maturity. However, if conservative treatment is not sufficient and the children's psychological or physical suffering is particularly severe, earlier surgical treatment should be considered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of temporary screw epiphyseodesis of the lateral epiphyseal plate of the first ray metatarsal as a new treatment option for JHVD during growth age. Between June 2011 and November 2017, 33 patients (24 girls, nine boys; 59 feet) with a JHVD were treated by temporary screw epiphyseodesis of the lateral epiphyseal plate of the first ray metatarsal. At the time of surgery mean age was 11.1 years SD 1.4 (8 to 15). Patients were followed clinically and with standing, weight-bearing radiographs of the feet in two planes. In all, 22 patients (39 feet) were included into this study. Mean follow-up was 27.8 months SD 9.9 (12 to 58). The hallux valgus angle changed from 26.5° SD 6.6° preoperatively to 20.2° SD 6.2° (p < 0.001) at time of follow-up. The intermetatarsal angle changed from 14.1° S...Continue Reading
