Fourth Generation Percutaneous Transverse Osteotomies for Hallux Valgus

Fourth Generation Percutaneous Transverse Osteotomies for Hallux Valgus

The goal of this observational study is to learn if percutaneous transverse osteotomies for hallux valgus deformity are safe and effective. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the change in clinical patient reported outcome measures after minimally invasive bunion surgery
2. What severity of bunion deformity can be corrected with minimally invasive surgery
3. What factors may lead to recurrence of bunion deformity
4. What is the rate of complications following bunion deformity surgery

Researchers will retrospectively review a research registry containing prospectively collected clinical and radiographic deformity data collected as part of routine care.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Primary diagnosis of hallux valgus that has failed conservative treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

• Degenerative changes of first MTPJ
• Previous hallux valgus deformity correction surgery
