Effect on Foot Width With Triplanar Tarsometatarsal Arthrodesis for Hallux Valgus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Foot width reduction is a desirable cosmetic and functional outcome for patients with hallux valgus. Triplanar first tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthrodesis could achieve this goal by 3-dimensional correction of the deformity. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in bony and soft tissue width in patients undergoing triplanar first TMT arthrodesis.

Methods

After receiving Institutional Review Board approval, charts were retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing triplanar first TMT arthrodesis for hallux valgus at 4 institutions between 2016 and 2019. Patients who underwent concomitant first metatarsal head osteotomies (eg, Silver or Chevron) or fifth metatarsal osteotomies were excluded. Preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior weightbearing radiogr
