Abstract

Hallux valgus surgery at the present time is sufficiently advanced and pretty well minimized with minimally invasive surgical techniques, failures and successes obtained with any of the techniques used. The purpose of this paper is to present a surgical technique that allows us to solve the adolescent hallux valgus, taking into account the intermetatarsal angle and cuneiformmetatarsal angle. We studied 20 patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of Hallux valgus, aged between 15 and 20 years who consulted for deformity and discomfort with footwear in the hallux, between september 2008 and december 2010, this descriptive study application radiological anterior posterior and lateral projections of the foot. Parameters such as age,sex, cuneiform-metatarsal angle and intermetatarsal angle, and the degree of correction were evaluated. Twenty (20) patients aged between 15 and 20 years with a mean of 17.75 years with 20 months of follow-up, had deformity and pain in walking with footwear. Developed after surgery to total improvement. The tongue shape capsular incision and the cuneiformmetatarsal angle modification is a useful technique in the treatment of adolescent hallux valgus.
