ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Until now, the treatment of hallux valgus (HV) is considered by many clinicians as an isolated problem of the forefoot, while the deformation of the first toe brings with metatarsalgia, Tailor’s bunion, and hammer toe deformity. An important step is the comprehensive elimination of all the existing problems to achieve satisfactory clinical results.

Research motivation

In our study, all existing pathologies in the Lisfranc joint were eliminated simultaneously.

Research objectives

The main objective was to decrease the key angles [HV angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angles (IMA)] and plantar callosities using a modified Lapidus procedure.

Research methods

We did a Clinical Trials Study involving 30 patients in the setting of a regional traumatology and orthopaedics centre in Kazakhstan.

Research results

The modified Lapidus procedure with intraoperative utilization of the developed external device led to a decrease in HVA, IMA, and M1M5 with correction of splayfoot and pain reduction. There was also improvement in the position of the medial sesamoid bone in each operated foot.

Research conclusions

The method used was promising and demonstrated the absence of significant drawbacks in a small sample size.

Research perspectives

Further randomized controlled trials are required to assess effectiveness in large samples.
