Association between clinical outcomes and postoperative first metatarsal rotational alignment assessed by weight-bearing CT scan in hallux valgus
Residual first metatarsal pronation is associated with poorer clinical outcomes as shown by the overall score, function, and other complaint subscales of the VAS-FA, as well as the alignment subscale of the AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP. These findings underscore the importance of correcting rotational deformity for optimal results. Nonetheless, given the retrospective design of this study with only postoperative assessments, causal inferences regarding the role of residual pronation cannot be established and should be interpreted cautiously.
