Abstract

Introduction: This research study presents the results of implementing a minimally invasive percutaneous technique in the surgical treatment of forefoot disorders.
Materials and methods: The study included 104 patients who met the inclusion criteria of having a bilateral Hallux Valgus procedure, between 1998 and 2010. Each patient had pre- and post-surgical treatment assessment of their quality of life, using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) rating scale. Statistical analysis was performed measuring pre- and post-surgical variables by applying univariate analysis and paired multivariate hypothesis testing.
Results: The univariate analysis performed before and after surgery showed a statistically significant difference in the quality of life parameter for the right foot (P=001). Similar results were found for the left foot (P=001). When comparing the before and after surgery variables, the last post-surgery control showed that the surgical procedure had a significantly positive effect on the quality of life of patients.
Discussion: This technique is safe and reliable, and must be performed by qualified personnel that have experience in both traditional and minimally invasive surgery. This allows efficient use of time by experts during the procedure and assures a permanent functional and aesthetic correction, which improves the quality of life and self-esteem of patients.
