Distal soft tissue procedure in hallux valgus surgery: biomechanical background and technique

Abstract: The distal soft tissue procedure has evolved into an indispensable additional surgical procedure to increase the corrective effect in hallux valgus surgery. Considering the biomechanical development of hallux valgus deformity, degenerative changes of the soft tissues around the first metatarsophalangeal joint contribute much more to the deformity than changes in the bony structures which can rather be seen as degenerative changes secondary to the deformity. Thus the principles in hallux valgus correction shoul… Show more

“…No effect was observed with release of the deep transverse metatarsal ligament or adductor hallucis. Division of the lateral phalangeal suspensory ligament and plantar capsule, however, led to over correction [22,23]. Furthermore, the transverse metatarsal ligament is not contracted in hallux valgus and protects neurovascular structures, suggesting that it should not be divided [7,8].…”

“…The information regarding this positioning is still controversial in the literature. While Schneider et al [34] mentioned that the first metatarsal, not the sesamoid, shifts laterally, others [21,35] have mentioned the possibility of the pronation of the entire metatarso-sesamoid complex, depending on the degree of laxity of the ligaments. Considering the pronation of the entire metatarso-sesamoid complex in HV, we could explain the decrease in MS height and increase in LS height in the With-HV group compared with those in the Without-HV group; when the complex is pronated, the MS goes downward and its height is shortened, while the LS goes upward and its height is increased.…”
