Third-Generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin Osteotomy for Hallux Valgus: Three-Year Outcomes.
Indian Journal of Orthopaedics 2023 June 6
INTRODUCTION: Numerous minimally invasive techniques have been developed for Hallux Valgus in recent years. Third-generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) osteotomy has shown promising early results, but longer-term follow-up is required to assess whether patient clinical and radiological improvement is sustained. This cohort study presents three-year follow-up outcomes for patients of a single surgeon case series.
METHODS: Thirty-three patients underwent third-generation MICA surgery between 2017 and 2018. Patient clinical-reported outcome measures included American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS), Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) scores, and Coughlin satisfaction. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated after a period of three years using hallux valgus angle (HVA) and inter-metatarsal angle (IMA), and compared to pre- and early post-operative outcomes.
RESULTS: At 36 months, mean AOFAS scores improved from 48.2 to 95.6, mean MOXFQ scores improved from 57.6 to 6.7. Using the Coughlin scale, 81.8% of patients rated their outcome as 'Excellent' and 18.2% as 'Good'. Radiographic outcomes showed HVA and mean IMA decreased from 34.6 degrees to 16.0 degrees and from 13.1 to 6.1, respectively at 36 months.
CONCLUSION: Third-generation MICA demonstrates promising patient satisfaction scores post-operatively, and we have shown these improvements are sustained over a minimum three-year follow-up period.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.
