Abstract
Introduction:
Hallux valgus is a common foot condition and marked as an anterior deviation of the big toe (hallux)toward the other toes with outward deviation and forming a further bony structure called a bunion on the inner surface of the foot. In this study ,we aim to study the efficiency and effectiveness of modified method of seri technique,from mis techniques to evaluate correction of valgus deformity in hallux
Methods:
In this study , all patients who referred to orthopedic clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia in 2013 who had hallux valgus deformity ,the inclusion criteria for the study and had conflict on one or both sides were selected and reconstructive surgery and correction of foot deformities was performed by SERI technique.1.5 months after,and 6 months after surgery ,AP and lateral radiographs of the foot were taken and AOFAS test was done.
Result:
A total of 12 patients,all female , participated in the study , AOFAS test scores, the angle between the first and second metatarsal (IMA) and the angle of HVA was assessed three times . AOFAS scores has a significant association with the time graph, but did not have a significant association with age. The angle between the first and second metatarsal (IMA) was significantly reduced after 6 months,indicating a significant effect of this method in reducing the angle of the IMA.Also the relationship between HVA decrement and the time was significant, but there was no significantdifference between age and the decrement in HVA.
