Summary

The aim of this study is to make a precise inventory of the complications that may occur postoperatively in the more or less long term in a cohort of patients who should benefit from surgical management of Hallux Valgus.

Detailed description

Hallux Valgus surgery is one of the most common foot surgeries. The surgical procedure itself has evolved a lot and is now, in almost all cases, on an outpatient basis with greatly improved pain management. However, various postoperative complications, more or less severe and more or less long term, can worsen the final result. The literature describing these complications comes mainly from meta-analysis, retrospective studies or studies targeting a particular type of complications. As a result, there are few complete and objective descriptions of these complications. In addition, studies reporting postoperative consequences always assess the "serious" long-term complications responsible for a poor functional outcome, primarily the recurrence of the initial deformity, defined as surgical failure. It seemed relevant to try to assess early complications, "less serious", not necessarily worsening the final result but directly impacting the postoperative recovery period. The evaluation of this recovery period and the length of time off work based on these "less severe" complications could improve the quality of surgical management of hallux valgus. This is why it seemed interesting to carry out a precise inventory of the complications that may occur postoperatively in the more or less long term in a cohort of patients.
