“…A recent systematic review estimated the prevalence of hallux valgus to be 23% in the general adult population aged 18–65 years and 35.7% in the population aged over 65 years, with an overall increased prevalence in females . Progressive deformity may result in pain with shoe wear and cosmetic dissatisfaction despite optimum non‐surgical management often leading to consideration of surgical correction . Before proceeding with surgery, the risks, benefits, expected outcomes and complications must be understood by the patient in order to satisfactorily complete the informed consent process …”

Background: Obtaining informed consent from patients considering bunion surgery can be challenging. This study assessed the efficacy of a multimedia technology as an adjunct to the informed consent process. Methods: A prospective, cohort study was conducted involving 55 patients (7 males, 48 females) who underwent a standardized verbal discussion regarding bunion correction surgery followed by completion of a knowledge questionnaire. A multimedia educational program was then administered and the knowledge questionnaire repeated. Additional supplementary questions were then given regarding satisfaction with the multimedia program. Results: Patients answered 74% questions correctly before the multimedia module compared with 94% after it (P < 0.0001). Patients rated the ease of understanding and the amount of information provided by the module highly. Eighty-four percent of patients considered that the multimedia tool performed as well as the treating surgeon. Conclusion: Multimedia technology is useful in enhancing patient knowledge regarding bunion surgery for the purposes of obtaining informed consent.

“…In general, HV is diagnosed by measuring anatomical angles: the angle between the first metatarsal and the hallux, the angle between the first and second metatarsals, and the distal metatarsal articular angle [6,7]. In radiographic measurements, a normal HV angle (HVA) is ≤ 15°, and the first to second intermetatarsal angle is ≤ 8°-9° [8].…”

Background Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common musculoskeletal deformity of the foot. This deformity is accompanied with pain and continues to decrease one’s quality of life. Furthermore, HV has been reported to affect gait ability and static stability. This study aimed to compare one-leg stance and gait between people with and without HV, and to investigate the effect of the HV angle on one-leg stance and gait ability. Methods Forty young adults with HV (6 men, 34 women) were enrolled. In the HV and normal groups, people who had undergone surgery or were unable to participate in the study because of pain in the lower extremity were excluded. Using the Zebris FDM model 1.5 (Zebris Medical GmbH, Isny, Germany), we analyzed gait parameters and one-leg stance in all subject to compare gait and static balance between the normal and HV groups. The obtained data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U-test to determine differences in one-leg stance and gait parameters between the group groups. In addition, a simple regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of the HV angle on one-leg stance and gait parameters. The significance level was set at ɑ=0.05. Results Significant differences were found in sway length and time change from the heel to forefoot during walking between the normal and HV groups. Most parameters were not associated with the HV angle, but a few one-leg stance and gait parameters were significantly associated with the HV angle. Conclusions These results suggest that most one-leg stance and gait parameters were not significantly affected by the HV angle in young adults; however, a few parameters were significantly different between the normal and HV groups. Because walking is a repetitive movement, young adults with HV could potentially have cumulative damage of the feet in later stages of life.

“…Procedimientos aislados sobre tejidos blandos tienen pocas probabilidades de lograr una corrección permanente de la deformidad por su alto índice de falla y recurrencia, por lo que es necesario realizar una osteotomía del primer metatarsiano única o doble para obtener la corrección de la deformidad y mantenerla. 3,4 La osteotomía de scarf corrige el hueso del primer metatarsiano y se utiliza para reducir el ángulo intermetatarsiano utilizando un corte en Z (Figura 1). Desde la primera descripción de la técnica, este procedimiento ha sido utilizado con gran éxito para la corrección de la deformidad moderada o severa del hallux valgus.…”
