Abstract
We present a radiographic analysis of 91 failed hallux abducto valgus surgeries. Patients were categorized by type of postoperative complication: hallux varus, hallux limitus, or recurrent hallux abducto valgus deformities. All deformities were radiographically evaluated preoperatively and after correction using tricorrectional bunionectomy. Analysis of the surgical revisions showed improvement in radiographic parameters, including the intermetatarsal angle, hallux abductus angle, proximal articular set angle, and tibial sesamoid position. We conclude that tricorrectional bunionectomy is a versatile procedure that can be used when addressing a residual deformity after failed hallux abducto valgus surgery.
