Recurrence rates with long-term follow-up after hallux valgus surgical treatment using proximal osteotomies: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To synthesize and critically appraise the literature on long-term outcomes of proximal osteotomies of the first metatarsal (M1) to treat HV without inflammatory disease or degenerative arthritis and to assess the long-term HV recurrence rates of studies with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

Methods

This systematic review conforms to the PRISMA guidelines. The authors conducted a search using PubMed, Embase®, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Studies that report outcomes of proximal osteotomies of the M1 for non-inflammatory and non-degenerative HV at a minimum follow-up of 5 years were included. We found four eligible studies comprising four datasets, and all assessed proximal osteotomies with a mean follow-up that ranged from 8 to 18 years
