Introduction
Numerous minimally invasive techniques have been developed for Hallux Valgus in recent years. Third-generation Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) osteotomy has shown promising early results, but longer-term follow-up is required to assess whether patient clinical and radiological improvement is sustained. This cohort study presents three-year follow-up outcomes for patients of a single surgeon case series.
Methods
Thirty-three patients underwent third-generation MICA surgery between 2017 and 2018. Patient clinical-reported outcome measures included American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS), Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) scores, and Coughlin satisfaction. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated after a period of three years using hallux valgus angle (HVA) and inter-metatarsal angle (IMA), and compared to pre- and early post-operative outcomes.
Results
At 36 months, mean AOFAS scores improved from 48.2 to 95.6, mean MOXFQ scores improved from 57.6 to 6.7. Using the Coughlin scale, 81.8% of patients rated their outcome as ‘Excellent’ and 18.2% as ‘Good’. Radiographic outcomes showed HVA and mean IMA decreased from 34.6 degrees to 16.0 degrees and from 13.1 to 6.1, respectively at 36 months.
Conclusion
Third-generation MICA demonstrates promising patient satisfaction scores post-operatively, and we have shown these improvements are sustained over a minimum three-year follow-up period.

第三代微创 Chevron Akin 截骨术治疗拇外翻:三年结果
介绍
近年来,针对拇趾外翻开发了多种微创技术。第三代微创 Chevron Akin (MICA) 截骨术已显示出有希望的早期结果,但需要更长期的随访来评估患者临床和放射学改善是否持续。该队列研究展示了单个外科医生病例系列患者的三年随访结果。
方法
2017 年至 2018 年间,33 名患者接受了第三代 MICA 手术。患者临床报告的结果指标包括美国骨科足踝协会 (AOFAS)、曼彻斯特-牛津足部问卷 (MOXFQ) 评分和 Coughlin 满意度。三年后使用拇外翻角(HVA)和跖骨间角(IMA)评估放射学结果,并与术前和术后早期结果进行比较。
结果
36 个月时,平均 AOFAS 分数从 48.2 提高到 95.6,平均 MOXFQ 分数从 57.6 提高到 6.7。使用 Coughlin 量表,81.8% 的患者将其结果评为“优秀”,18.2% 的患者将其评为“良好”。放射学结果显示,36 个月时,HVA 和平均 IMA 分别从 34.6 度下降至 16.0 度,从 13.1 下降至 6.1。
结论
第三代 MICA 表现出令人鼓舞的术后患者满意度评分,并且我们已经证明这些改善在至少三年的随访期内持续存在。
