Abstract
Description
Introduction/Purpose: Hallux valgus is one of the most prevalent foot deformities. Coronal metatarsal rotation (pronation) has been recognized as a key element in hallux valgus deformity and an important prognostic factor for recurrence. New surgical techniques have been developed in order to specifically address pronation deformity but tend to be technically demanding. With the advent of weight bearing CT (WBCT), accurate pronation measurement has improved. Deformity correction by means of metatarsal osteotomies has been an effective way to correct transverse plane deformity but its capacity for pronation correction is not well established. Purpose: Assess transverse and coronal plane rotation deformity correction by WBCT in hallux valgus patients after scarf osteotomy.<br/>Methods
