Radiographic and functional results of the Lindgren-Turan operation in the treatment of hallux valgus

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the radiographic and functional results of the Lindgren-Turan operation in the treatment of hallux valgus.
Methods : Twenty-nine feet of 25 patients (15 women, 7 men; mean age 42 years; range 20 to 68 years) were treated by the Lindgren - Turan method. Of these, 24 feet with appropriate follow-up were included. Intermetatarsal and hallux valgus angles were measured on preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up anteroposterior radiographs. Pain was evaluated by a visual analog scale. The range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was measured at the end of follow-ups. The mean follow-up period was 26.5 months (range 6 to 54 months).
Results : Postoperatively, the mean corrections were 6.9 degrees and 5.1 degrees in the hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles, respectively (p<0.05). At the end of the follow-up period, the mean loss of correction was 1.8 degrees for the hallux valgus angle, and 0.5 degrees for the intermetatarsal angle; the mean pain score decreased from preoperative 7.78 to 1.35 (p<0.05) and the mean range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint was 56.8 degrees dorsiflexion and 14.9 degrees plantar flexion. The mean time to return to presurgery activity levels was 44.2 days (range 30 to 70 days). Of the patient group, 83.3% expressed satisfaction with the surgical outcome. Clinical and radiographic evaluations showed excellent results in 15 (62.5%), good in seven (29.2%), and unsuccessful in two patients (8.3%).
Conclusion: The Lindgren-Turan osteotomy is a preferable method in the surgical treatment of patients with moderate hallux valgus.
