Summary

We have carried out a modified McBride procedure in 21 patients with hallux valgus which caused pain during running. They have been followed up for a mean of 5,5 years. Metatarsophalangeal pain and metatarsalgia were relieved or significantly decreased in the majority of patients, but callosities beneath the second metatarsal head were not affected. When the angle between the first and second metatarsals did not exceed 14° before operation, satisfactory correction could be obtained. In the absence of degenerative changes in the first metatarsophalangeal joint and with a moderate hallux valgus, a consistently good result was obtained in this group of active patients.

Résumé

Vingt-et-un patients porteurs d 'un hallux valgus douloureux dans la pratique de la course à pied ont bénéficié d'une opération de McBride, modifiée selon Meary-Tomeno. Le recul moyen est de cinq ans et demi. Tous les patients ont repris la course au 6ème mois post-opératoire. Le résultat sur les douleurs de la lère articulation métatarsophalangienne et sur la métatarsalgie est en général excellent. L'opération est sans effet sur le durillon situé sous la 2ème tête métatarsienne. Lorsque la divergence entre le ler et le 2ème métatarsienne dépasse pas 14°, une bonne correction a pu être obtenue. Dans la plupart des cas, le valgus du gros orteil a été corrigé. L'opération de McBride modifiée donne constamment de bons résultats sur l'hallux valgus moyen sans arthrose métatarso-phalangienne et peut être recommandée aux patients désirant maintenir une activité sportive.
