Background To evaluate the number of complications and patients` satisfaction after hallux valgus deformity correction using the Lapidus procedure and Z-osteotomy. Matherials and methods Seventy patients (mean age 51.9 years; 4 men and 66 women) who underwent hallux valgus deformity correction using the Lapidus procedure (L group) or Z-osteotomy (Z group), were studied not less than 2 years after the operation. Before the operation, all patients had a 16–23° angle between the first and the second metatarsals. Physical examination, MTP1 joint amplitude measurement and X-rays of operated feet were performed. Also, patients were asked about the postoperative complications. To evaluate the satisfaction of patients, the visual analog scale (VAS) was used. Results The studied patients (4 male and 76 female) had 80 operated feet; 40 (50%) operations were performed using the Lapidus procedure and 40 (50%) Z-osteotomy. In 61% of cases, there was at least one complication. The frequency of complications did not differ in the groups (p > 0.05). Cases of MTP1 arthrosis were similar in both groups (p > 0.05).There was a correlation between patients` satisfaction after operation and the number of complications, r = 0.44 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Patients’ satisfaction after operation correlates with the number of complications. There was no difference between patients`satisfaction after operation and the frequency of complications after the Lapidus procedure and Z-osteotomy. . |
