Correlation between hallux valgus angle and age.

A study was made of the relationship between the hallux valgus angle and age. Between January 1983 and June 1985, 464 hallux valgus operations were performed on 404 patients at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Huddinge Hospital. The mean age of the patients was 54 +/- 12 years (range 16 to 75). The patients were divided into six groups with regard to nature and extent of radiographic changes. Linear regression analysis was used for analysis of the correlation between age and hallux valgus angle. A significant correlation was found in group 1: hallux valgus grade 1, type I (great toe rotated, slight bunion) and group 6: hallux valgus grade 2, type III (great toe rotated, severe bunion and severe arthrosis). There was a large scatter around the lines, however, which means that age is poor predictor of the hallux valgus angle.

Postoperative pressure under the rheumatic feet.

The authors examined ten seropositive rheumatoid arthritis patients with an EMED gait analysis system in a mean four years after foot surgery and compared that with ten normal subjects who formed a control group. The maximum pressure in the toe regions was almost the same as in the control group. The rheumatoid arthritis group had significantly increased maximum pressure in the first metatarsal and tarsal region.

Deformities of the smaller toes and surgical treatment.

According to the anatomical changes, deformities of the smaller toes often are referred to as hammer toe, club toe, and claw toe. In this article a new deformity, which often appears as inflammatory arthritis, is described. In this toe deformation, which the author calls zig-zag deformity, there are contractures at the metatarsophalangeal joints, and at the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. Between January 1983 and June 1985, 70 patients with small-toe deformities were treated surgically: 64 by partial phalangeal resection and 6 by tendon transfer with the Girdlestone technique. The results are presented in this article.

Treatment with external fixation of displaced talar fractures.

This article presents a case report on a 17-year-old girl who sustained a dislocation fracture of the talus, and was treated with external fixation. The fracture healed with a good result. After a 1-year follow-up, the patient had completely normal, pain-free mobility in the ankle joint. There were no radiographic signs of osteonecrosis.

Normal and pathologic anatomy of hallux valgus.

The author reviews the pathologic entity of hallux valgus, using anatomic illustrations. Although this description is not considered to represent new information, foot surgeons must continue to appreciate the delicate biomechanical imbalances leading to this anomaly.

Metatarsal osteotomy using internal fixation with compression screws.

Forty-six metatarsal osteotomies in 25 feet were performed in order to treat forefoot deformity. The authors used an exacting operative procedure based on oblique osteotomies of the metatarsal and rigid internal fixation. All osteotomies healed and only one patient was not satisfied with the operation. This technique provided predictable long-term results in the authors' hands, and also involved an easier postoperative course than conventional methods.

Moiré topography in the care of foot deformities.

Podoscopic images and moiré images combined are useful for comparing the foot under weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing conditions. This makes it possible to evaluate the effect of weightbearing on the bone structures of the foot and is valuable in the treatment of foot deformities.
