RODRIGUEZ CASTILLO, Francisco Javier; RAYO PEREZ, Ana María  y  CHACON GIRALDEZ, Fernando. Preoperative and Postoperative Radiological Evaluation of Austin Osteotomy and Use of Autocad®. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.2, e496.  Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 0864-215X.

Introduction:

More than 300 surgical techniques have been described for the correction of hallux valgus. One of them is the Austin technique, which constitutes a capital “V” osteotomy with an angulation of 60º used in the surgical treatment of mild-moderate hallux valgus.

Objectives:

To analyze the degree of correction that Austin osteotomy has on different radiological parameters and to describe the frequency with which complementary techniques are used on the proximal phalanx.

Methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was carried out in a sample of 29 feet operated on using the Austin technique. Several measurements were made on their pre- and postoperative radiographs with AutoCAD®.

Results:

Statistically significant differences were obtained in all the parameters evaluated.

Conclusions:

This technique significantly corrects all the parameters analyzed. It is shown that the use of complementary surgical techniques on the proximal phalanx is quite frequent when performing this osteotomy.
