Résumé : | Background: Hallux valgus is the lateral deviation of the great toe at the MTPJ that has many attributing aetiologies. This study will aim to identify whether hallux valgus progresses over time in the oriental Chinese population in Hong Kong. Methods: Patients with acquired symptomatic hallux valgus who presented to clinic between 2008 and 2013 were included. The deformities were analysed radiologically at presentation and pre-operative and angles were measured. These angles were analysed in relation to the waiting time from presentation to surgery. Results: A sample of 43 cases from 38 patients (Mean age 63 years, range 48–80 years) were included. Forty-one cases had a hallux valgus angle (HVA) >24◦ at presentation (Mean 40.4◦) and all had an intermetatarsal angle (IMA) >9◦. A significant difference is seen with HVA (p = 0.040,t = −2.128) at presentation and pre-op but not IMA (p = 0.281, t = −1.095). The average wait for surgery was 705.7 days which had shown significant correlation with progression in HVA(p = 0.031). No significant difference was seen between IMAand waiting time to surgery (p = 0.195). Discussion: The findings suggests severe hallux valgus deformity does progress over time in Hong Kong. Shorter waiting times for surgery could be beneficial to this population. Level III, retrospective comparative series. |
