ABSTRACT
El Hallux Varus Iatrogénico es una complicación de la cirugía correctiva del Hallux Valgus muy poco frecuente. El tratamiento incluye la intervención de los tejidos blandos, y óseos. El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar los resultados clínico-radiológicos del tratamiento quirúrgico del Hallux Varus Iatrogénico Flexible Severo empleando la combinación de técnicas de reconstrucción alternativas en una paciente femenina de 59 años de edad. Se realizó liberación medial de la capsula articular MTF y abductor, osteotomía de Chevron reverso, artrodesis interfalángica izquierda, transferencia tendinosa del extensor largo de Hallux hacia plantar con botón artesanal. De acuerdo a la Escala AOFAS aumentó de 30 a 90 puntos. Se logró la corrección estable de la deformidad en varo y la consolidación de la osteotomía. El Hallux Varus Iatrogénico es una complicación poco frecuente considerada una deformidad mal tolerada, con pocos casos reportados y pocos reportes. Se debe hacer un enfoque de tratamiento paso a paso para abordar todos los elementos involucrados en el Hallux Varus iatrogénico. La corrección quirúrgica del Hallux Varus iatrogénico severo con técnicas de reconstrucción no convencionales tipo Chevron reverso y transferencia tendinosa con botón plantar, es una excelente opción terapéutica de acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos en este caso(AU)
Iatrogenic Hallux Varus is a very rare complication of Hallux Valgus corrective surgery. The treatment includes the intervention of soft tissues and bones. The purpose of this paper is to show the clinical-radiological results of the surgical treatment of Severe Flexible Iatrogenic Hallux Varus using the combination of alternative reconstruction techniques in a 59-year-old female patient. Medial release of the MTF and abductor joint capsule, reverse Chevron osteotomy, left interphalangeal arthrodesis, tendon transfer of the long extensor of Hallux to plantar with artisanal button was performed. According to the AOFAS Scale, it increased from 30 to 90 points. Stable correction of the varus deformity and consolidation of the osteotomy were achieved. Iatrogenic Hallux Varus is a rare complication considered a poorly tolerated deformity, with few reported cases and few reports. A step-by-step treatment approach must be taken to address all the elements involved in iatrogenic Hallux Varus. Surgical correction of severe iatrogenic Hallux Varus with unconventional reconstruction techniques such as reverse Chevron and plantar button tendon transfer is an excellent therapeutic option according to the results obtained in this case(AU)

BACKGROUND: Free fat graft has been used for the treatment of congenital hand differences. However, there have been a few reports about the outcome of that treatment. In this study, the outcome of free fat grafts for congenital hand and foot differences was investigated. METHODS: Fourteen bones with longitudinal epiphyseal bracket, 3 wrists with Madelung deformity, and 5 cases of osseous syndactyly were treated with free fat graft with osteotomy, physiolysis, or separation of osseous syndactyly. Of the fourteen bones with longitudinal epiphyseal bracket, 9 were treated with open wedge osteotomy with free fat graft and 5 with physiolysis and free fat graft. The Madelung deformity was treated with physiolysis with free fat graft. For osseous syndactyly, syndactyly release with free fat graft was performed five times on four hands. RESULTS: In the fourteen cases with longitudinal epiphyseal bracket, lateral deviation improved in all except two cases after surgery. The average lateral deviation angle changed from 32.5 degrees before surgery to 15.2 degrees after surgery. The average improvement of the lateral deviation angle was 12.2 degrees in the osteotomy group and 20.6 degrees in the physiolysis group. The mean ratio of improvement of the lateral deviation angle to the lateral deviation angle before surgery was 39.4% in the osteotomy group and 51.2% in the physiolysis group. The Madelung deformity improved after surgery in two cases but there was no improvement in one case. For these conditions, the results were not good enough when surgery was done after age 13 or at age four for severely hypoplastic brachymesophalangy. Of the 5 cases of osseous syndactyly, reunion of the separated bones occurred in one case. The grafted free fat should be deep enough to cover the osteotomy site of the bones to prevent reunion of the separated bones. CONCLUSIONS: Physiolysis and free fat graft performed during the growth period can correct the deviation due to longitudinal epiphyseal bracket and Madelung deformity. Free fat graft is also useful to prevent reunion of the bones after separation of osseous syndcatyly, if the grafted fat is securely filled into the space between the separated bones.

Este estudio es un análisis retrospectivo que se realizó a 35 pies de 29 pacientes(11 hembras y 18 varones) con el diagnóstico de pie equino varo congénito hípercorregido, en el hospital ortopédico infantil de Caracas en un period comprendido entre el 03-11-1997 al 26-11-2007, a los cuales se le practicó una cirugía con osteotomías percutáneas supramaleolar de tibia y de medio pie, fijados con un tutor externo multiplanar tipo ilizarov. Se encontró mejoría en los ángulos de kite AP y lateral post-operatorio, promedio pre-operatorio (45,8°) lateral y (43,5°) AP con un post-operatorio de(29,8°) lateral y(28,3°)AP. Tomando en cuenta la disminución del tiempo quirúrgico, días de hospitalización, disminución de la injuria a nivel de los tejidos y reincorporación temprana a las actividades, con un seguimiento promedio de 7 años que al final se mantenía el ángulo de kite del último control con respecto al post-operatorio tardío. Por lo que recomendamos este procedimiento como parte del tratamiento para corrección del pie quino varo congénito hipercorregido.
This study is a retrospective analysis was performed to 35 feet of 29 patients (11 females and 18 males) diagnosed with overcorrected clubfoot in children's orthopedic hospital of Caracas in a period from 11.03.1997 to 26.11.2007, to which she underwent surgery supramalleolar percutaneous tibial osteotomy and mid-foot, fixed with Ilizarov external fixator multiplanar type. There was improvement in kite angles AP and lateral postoperative average pre-operative (45.8 °) and lateral (43.5 °) AP with a post-operative (29.8 °) and lateral (28 , 3 °) AP. Taking into account the reduction of surgical time, hospital stay, decreased level of injury to tissues and early return to activities, with an average follow up of 7 years which ultimately kept the kite angle of ultimate control over the late postoperative period. So we recommend this procedure as a treatment for correction of congenital varus foot overcorrected quino.
