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
