The aim of this study was to report a single surgeon series of
consecutive patients with moderate hallux valgus managed with a
percutaneous extra-articular reverse-L chevron (PERC) osteotomy. A total of 38 patients underwent 45 procedures. There were 35
women and three men. The mean age of the patients was 48 years (17
to 69). An additional percutaneous Akin osteotomy was performed
in 37 feet and percutaneous lateral capsular release was performed
in 22 feet. Clinical and radiological assessments included the type
of forefoot, range of movement, the American Orthopedic Foot and
Ankle (AOFAS) score, a subjective rating and radiological parameters. The mean follow-up was 59.1 months (45.9 to 75.2). No patients
were lost to follow-up.Aims
