Chevrolet osteotomy is a common operation for the treatment of toe cysts. Big toe refers to the change of big toe into small toe due to swelling or dislocation with big toe or big toe. This usually leads to a lump in the big toe or the root of the big toe and pain. A variety of surgical procedures can treat dacryocystitis. Each operation has a series of indicators. To be exact, who is most suitable for the operation. Through Chevron osteotomy, foot and ankle plastic surgery or podiatrists cut the “V” shape at the end of the long bone behind the big toe(foot bone), then rotate the end of the bone to straighten the big toe.

Generally speaking, the reason for Chevrolet osteotomy is that young people are generally targeted. Their thumb joints have no arthritis, and the number of thumb pockets ranges from mild to moderate. This is usually the favorite operation for young athletes. Although the severely deformed elderly can do well. The main requirement is that the joints are complete without osteoarthritis. V-shaped osteotomy may be prohibited due to large toe deviation, limited adductor muscles and ligaments, and incongruity with big toe joint and arthritis.

Thumb surgery using Chevron osteotomy usually results well. In the study of Hans Jorg Trenka et al.(published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery in 2000), they reviewed 57 patients who received Chevron osteotomy and followed up for 5 years. The researchers reported that the flexibility of the big toe joint decreased between the early assessment and the 2-year assessment, but did not deteriorate after 5 years. In addition, they reported in their 2-year and 5-year evaluations that “the lateral thumb roll angle deviation did not change.” Patients over 50 years of age and younger patients have put a question mark on Chevrolet osteotomy, which is mainly used for young people. Chevron osteotomy can damage the arteries near the root of the big toe, but these scientists did not find any cases of spinal necrosis during their two or five years of visits. Nevertheless, in the two-year review, the authors pointed out that in 8 feet and 5 years of review, 11 feet did have big toe or big toe osteoarthritis.

Like any surgical procedure for cholecystitis, Chevron osteotomy is a good choice because it is performed by a surgeon with accurate causes and rich experience, and has the technical ability to work hard for surgical treatment. As with all operations, sometimes negative results will be found, but with this treatment, most operations will not be difficult to cure. If you want to have thumb surgery, you must discuss with the doctor which treatment is more suitable for your needs and the most likely outcome.
