Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
The study is a prospective randomized study about hallux valgus surgery. The investigator try to assess if the fixation of percutaneous Akin osteotomy with a cannulated screw have an incidence in the first ray mobility since the two technics ( fixation and no-fixation) are described and practiced, and since the stiffness of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint is determinant in the result of this functional surgery.

percutaneous Akin osteotomy
The act to AKIN is osteotomy in percutaneous; This technique can be performed with or without fixation, and both methods make reference in the literature. With fixation method to get rid of the risk of loss of the surgical reduction of the misalignment, but requires an additional surgical procedure marked by the implementation of a percutaneous cannulated screw on part of the osteotomy. Without fixing method allows to get rid of this gesture, and risk a possible annoys by osteo-synthesis material. Surgical dressings of surgery of hallux valgus allow to keep the reduction for 15 days. Both techniques give excellent results and are performed in our service of routinely.
