Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified McBride orthomorphia with small incision in the treatment of Hallusx Valgus. Methods: 104 patients who were admitted in our hospital from 2010 to 2014 and diagnosed as Hallusx Valgus were cured by modified mcBride orthomorphia. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), the changes of hallus valgus angle(HVA) and intermetatarsal angle(IMA) and Ankle Society score(AOFAS) at reoperation, 3 weeks after surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: All the patients were followed up at least 6 months after the operation and the excellent rate was 96.2%. The postoperative VAS score, hallus valgus angle and Ankle Society score at 3 weeks after surgery were obviously improved compared with those preoperation (P<0.05). Only three patients had recurrence at 6 months after surgery, 6 patients had mild pain of foot and 1 case had delayed healing of incision. Conclusions: Modified McBride orthomorphia with small incision could effectivly correct the foot hallux valgus deformity and relieve the pain due to this disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
