The Viladot-Regnauld operation for hallux valgus

Abstract

Of 54 patients, we reviewed 26 with 28 operations for hallux valgus according to the Viladot-Regnauld technique. Follow-up was 18.7 (12-26) years. In 26 operations, the score according to Kitaoka and modified by Calder was excellent or good, and in two, fair. There were no complications. Average valgus angle correction was 15° (8°-29°) and average intermetatarsal angle correction was 7° (4°-12°). Sesamoids were medialised, on average, by at least 25% compared to the pre-operative situation. The results confirm the validity of this surgical procedure.
