CAN THE PERCUTANEOUS CHEVRON AND AKIN (PECA) TECHNIQUE CORRECT THE PRONATION OF THE FIRST METATARSAL IN HALLUX VALGUS?

ABSTRACT Objective Pronation of the first metatarsal in hallux valgus has recently been discussed among foot and ankle surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate the potential radiographic correction of moderate and severe hallux valgus using the percutaneous Chevron and Akin (PECA) technique. Method...

description ABSTRACT Objective Pronation of the first metatarsal in hallux valgus has recently been discussed among foot and ankle surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate the potential radiographic correction of moderate and severe hallux valgus using the percutaneous Chevron and Akin (PECA) technique. Methods We evaluated 45 feet in 38 patients (mean age 65.3 years old [36 - 83]; 4 men; 34 women; 7 bilateral) who underwent surgical correction using the PECA technique. The radiographic images evaluated were anteroposterior radiographs obtained pre- and postoperatively at least 6 months after surgery, including the metatarsophalangeal angle, the intermetatarsal angle, pronation of the first metatarsal, displacement of the distal fragment, medial sesamoid position and bone union. Results All parameters evaluated showed significant postoperative improvement, including correction of pronation of the first metatarsal (p < .05) and position of the sesamoid (p < .05). There was a union of osteotomies in all feet. No complications were observed, such as screw loosening or necrosis of the first metatarsal head. Conclusion The PECA technique can correct pronation of the first metatarsal in moderate and severe hallux valgus, and other deformity-associated parameters. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series.
