Analysis of Factors Influencing the Efficacy of Corrective Surgery in Patients with Hallux Valgus
Objective:To explore the factors affecting the efficacy of corrective surgery in patients with hallux valgus,and to provide reference for clinical surgical treatment.Methods:186 patients who received corrective surgery for bunion valgus from November 2017 to November 2022 were retrospectively collected.The results of surgery were evaluated by Mancunian-Oxford foot questionnaire(MOXFQ)before and after the last follow-up.Patients were divided into improved group and non-improved group according to the difference of MOXFQ score between last postoperative follow-up and pre-operative.The related clinical data were collected and the factors influencing the efficacy of corrective surgery for patients with hallux valgus were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:There was no improvement in 38 patients and improvement in 148 patients.The age of the no-improvement group was higher than that of the improvement group(P<0.05),the proportions of female,diabetes,smoking history,peripheral vascular disease,American society of aneshesiolo-gists(ASA)grade>1,severe deformity,postoperative recurrence of bunion and metastatic metatarsal algia were higher than those of the improvement group(P<0.05),and the proportions of minimally invasive surgery were lower than those of the improvement group(P<0.05).The American orthopedic foot and ankle society(AOFAS)score and Maryland foot score in the last postoperative follow-up were lower than those in the improved group(P<0.05).Multiva-riate logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative recurrence of bunion valgus,metastatic metatarsal algia,diabe-tes and preoperative severe deformity were risk factors for no improvement in bunion valgus patients(P<0.05),and min-imally invasive surgery was protective factor(P<0.05).Conclusion:Postoperative recurrence of bunion valgus,metastatic metatarsal algia,diabetes mellitus,and severe deformity before surgery are associated with poor surgical results in bunion valgus patients.Minimally invasive surgery can improve surgical results.
