Impact of Sesamoid Coverage on Clinical Foot Function Following Fourth-Generation Percutaneous Hallux Valgus Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of pronation and sesamoid coverage on clinical outcomes following percutaneous hallux valgus surgery are not currently known. The aim of this study was to investigate if sesamoid coverage was associated with worse clinical outcomes at 12-month follow-up following percutaneous hallux valgus surgery.

Methods

Retrospective comparative observational study of clinical and radiographic outcomes based on a previously published prospective dataset. Patients were stratified into 3 cohorts based on the degree of sesamoid coverage (normal, mild, or moderate) on 12-month weightbearing radiographs following fourth-generation percutaneous hallux valgus surgery. Primary outcome was a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questio
