RESUMEN
Background and Objectives: Many treatment modalities are available for juvenile hallux valgus. However, all of them have some disadvantages. Therefore, we developed a transosseous suturing procedure. Materials and Methods: Six patients (seven feet) with juvenile hallux valgus received transosseous suturing procedure. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. All patients underwent the soft tissue release procedure, followed by transosseous suturing with Fiberwire (in which sutures are anchored with mini plates). Results: The mean IMA and HVA decreased from 15.6° ± 2.6° to 7.3° ± 1.1° and 39.2° ± 3.3° to 12.5° ± 3.1°, respectively. Corrections achieved in the IMA and HVA of all patients were maintained through the last follow-up. The mean American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society score improved from 53.3 ± 3.5 to 86.9 ± 4.7 points. Conclusions: Based on these preliminary data, the transosseous suturing technique demonstrated satisfactory results and apparent improvements in the IMA and HVA without early complications.
