[Significance of transverse forefoot stabilization in the treatment of hallux valgus. Comparative study of clinical/radiologic short-term results].
72 feet of 56 patients were treated by Brandes operation, modified by using a distally attached capsular-periosteal flap from 1984 till 1986 at the Orthopedic Clinic of the University of Vienna. On 41 of these feet an additional cerclage fibreuse according to Lelievre was done. This group had a significantly better correction of the hallux valgus angle with 17 degrees as compared to 8 degrees in the group without cerclage fibreuse. The correction of the intermetatarsal angle was also significantly better with 5 degrees as compared to 1 degree. Only through cerclage fibreuse was it possible to stabilize the sesamoids in the transversal as well as in the longitudinal direction. We found no improvement of subjective well-feeling after the cerclage fibreuse, but a significantly better correction and mobility in the metatarsal-sesamoid joint and the metatarsal-phalangeal joint.
