Abstract

Introduction: Hallux valgus is the most common condition found in the foot, caused by a progressive failure of the first ray stabilization means. The hallux is deviated into valgus, the first metatarsal into varus, and their association leads to a subluxation of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the first ray. Surgery is a treatment frequently used to correct this condition. So, is the static postural balance altered after corrective surgery?
Materials and Method: 23 subjects participated in the study, all women, divided into two groups: control and hallux valgus. The hallux valgus group was evaluated three months post-operatively. Bipodal tests were carried out on a stabilometry platform, one with eyes open and one with eyes closed. The pressure center parameters were recorded and analyzed, such as the length or the area of the pressure center.
Results: The results obtained showed significant differences between the two groups and were statistically significant, with a p-value of 0,05. The pressure center values are higher in the hallux valgus group.
Conclusion: Some results found in the literature agree with the results of the present study. There are significant deficits in the static postural balance three months after corrective surgery. Other studies with a larger sample may be performed to confirm or not the results of this study.
