Interventions for treating hallux valgus (abductovalgus) and bunions

Hallux valgus and hallux rigidus: a comparison of impact on health‐related quality of life in patients presenting to foot surgeons in Australia

“…With respect to gender distribution, women were disproportionately represented (82%) in the overall cohort. These findings are generally consistent with the literature [ 5 - 9 , 11 , 21 ].…”

First Tarsometatarsal Joint Fusion for Hallux Valgus Deformity: A Retrospective Comparison of Two Fixation Constructs Regarding Initial Maintenance of Correction and Complications: Traditional Crossing Screw Fixation Versus Dorsomedial Locking Plate and Intercuneiform Compression Screw

“…Chong et al reported a recurrence rate of 9.9% in 199 patients at an average follow up of 5.2 years and stated that 25.9% of the patients reported dissatisfaction with their outcome (19). A Cochrane review of hallux valgus surgery reported that 25-33% of patients expressed dissatisfaction after bunion surgery (21).…”

Republication of “Mucous Cyst at the Interphalangeal Joint of the First Toe Caused by Contact Pressure With the Second Toe due to Hallux Valgus: A Case Report”

“…Therefore, we corrected the hallux valgus deformity to relieve that contact pressure. Some authors describe conservative treatment, including orthoses for hallux valgus deformity, 19,24,27,45 but none have described orthoses for mucous and similar cysts of toes. A toe splint or spacer to offload the contact area might be useful to avoid or minimize pressure.…”
