RESUMO
El hállux se encuentra en aducción en relación al eje del pie y para mantener esta posición requiere de una adecuada alineación ósea, la que está determinada principalmente por la actividad muscular. Una de las estructuras involucradas en esta función es el músculo aductor del hállux, el cual puede producir hállux valgus o hállux rígido cuando ocurre un desbalance en su actividad normal. A pesar de la importancia de este músculo, existen pocos estudios de su complejo neuromuscular. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir las características morfológicas y morfométricas del músculo aductor del hállux y sus ramos motores en 30 miembros inferiores. Se disecó la planta del pie hasta alcanzar el plano del músculo aductor del hállux y sus ramos motores. La longitud media de la cabeza oblicua del músculo aductor del hállux fue de 78,16 mm (±13,35) con un ancho máximo promedio de 20,55 mm (±2,59) y un tendón de 25,87 mm (±7,97) de longitud. Respecto a las mismas medidas en la cabeza transversa, estas fueron 39,55 (±8,26), 15,04 (±3,52) y 18,51 (±10,04), respectivamente. La inervación de ambas cabezas del músculo aductor del hállux provenía del ramo profundo del nervio plantar lateral. En la mayoría de las muestras dicho nervio emitió un ramo para la cabeza oblicua y uno para la cabeza transversa. La cabeza oblicua presentaba uno o dos puntos motores, localizados generalmente en su tercio medio. La cabeza transversa presentaba sólo un punto motor localizado frecuentemente en su tercio lateral. El conocimiento de las características morfológicas y morfométricas del músculo aductor del hállux y de sus ramos motores son clínicamente significativos, puesto que permiten realizar una aproximación de la localización del punto motor en los procedimientos electromiográficos.
The hallux is adducted in relation to the axis of the foot and to maintain this position requires adequate bone alignment, which is determined mainly by muscle activity. One of the structures that is involved in this function is the adductor muscle of the hallux, which can produce hallux valgus or rigid hallux when an imbalance occurs in its normal activity. Despite the importance of this muscle, there are few studies of its neuromuscular complex. The objective of this study was to describe the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the adductor muscle of the hallux and its motor branches in 30 lower limbs. The sole of the foot was dissected until it reached the plane of the muscle and its motor branches. The average length of the oblique head of the adductor muscle of the hallux was 78.16 mm (± 13.35), with an average maximum width of 20.55 mm (± 2.59) and a tendon of 25.87 mm (± 7, 97) in length. Regarding the same measurements of the transverse head were 39.55 (± 8.26), 15.04 (± 3.52) and 18.51 (± 10.04), respectively. The innervation of both heads came from the deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve. In most of the samples, said nerve emitted a bouquet for the oblique head and one for the transverse head. The oblique head had one or two motor points, generally located in its middle third. The transverse head had only one motor point that was usually in its lateral third. The knowledge of the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the adductor muscle of the hallux and its motor branches are clinically significant, since they allow an approximation of the location of the motor point in electromyographic procedures.

OBJECTIVE: Distal, lateral soft tissue release to restore mediolateral balance of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in hallux valgus deformity. Incision of the adductor hallucis tendon from the fibular sesamoid, the lateral capsule, the lateral collateral ligament, and the lateral metatarsosesamoid ligament. INDICATIONS: Hallux valgus deformities or recurrent hallux valgus deformities with an incongruent MTP joint. CONTRAINDICATIONS: General medical contraindications to surgical interventions. Painful stiffness of the MTP joint, osteonecrosis, congruent joint. Relative contraindications: connective tissue diseases (Marfan syndrome, Ehler-Danlos syndrome). SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Longitudinal, dorsal incision in the first intermetatarsal web space between the first and second MTP joint. Blunt dissection and identification of the adductor hallucis tendon. Release of the adductor tendon from the fibular sesamoid. Incision of the lateral capsule, the lateral collateral ligament, and the lateral metatarsosesamoid ligament. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Postoperative management depends on bony correction. In joint-preserving procedures, dressing for 3 weeks in corrected position. Subsequently hallux valgus orthosis at night and a toe spreader for a further 3 months. Passive mobilization of the first MTP joint. Postoperative weight-bearing according to the osteotomy. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients with isolated hallux valgus deformity underwent surgery with a Chevron and Akin osteotomy and a distal medial and lateral soft tissue balancing. The mean preoperative intermetatarsal (IMA) angle was 12.3° (range 11-15°); the hallux valgus (HV) angle was 28.2° (25-36°). The mean follow-up was 16.4 months (range 12-22 months). The mean postoperative IMA correction ranged between 2 and 7° (mean 5.2°); the mean HV correction was 15.5° (range 9-21°). In all, 29 patients (93%) were satisfied or very satisfied with the postoperative outcome, while 2 patients (7%) were not satisfied due to one delayed wound healing and one recurrent hallux valgus deformity. There were no infections, clinical and radiological signs of avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head, overcorrection with hallux varus deformity, or significant stiffness of the first MTP joint.

El desempeño de los pies influye en la postura, marcha y en el uso de calzados. Deformidades pueden surgir debido a alteraciones estructurales provocadas por el desequilibrio muscular como parece suceder en el hallux valgus (HV). El músculo aductor del hallux (MAH) es considerado importante en la presencia de ese desequilibrio. Analisamos la acción del MAH, en la dinámica del hallux y del antepie sano, así como en la génesis del HV. Se disecaron 28 pies aislados (3 com HV), fijados en formol, del Laboratorio de Anatomía de la Facultad de Medicina de Petrópolis/FASE/RJ para obtener los datos morfométricos del MAH: largo de las cabezas (L-CT; L-CO); ancho de las cabezas (A-CT; A-CO) y ángulo entre las cabezas (q). Los valores medios (mm), obtenidos en los pies sin deformidades: L-CT= 27,04; L-CO= 51,45; A-CT=13,23; A-CO=17,58; q (CT/CO)=31°; y en los con HV: L-CT=23,80; A-CT=12,03; L-CO=48,25; A-CO=16,89; q (CT/CO)=52. La morfología del MAH osciló entre pies sin y con HV. El MAH al fijarse en las articulaciones metatarsofalángicas (CT) y en el hueso sesamoideo lateral del hallux (CT+CO) puede ser causa o consecuencia de la variación del q (CT/CO), llevando al valgismo del hallux. La amputación del hallux podrá aplanar el arco transverso anterior debido a la tensión muscular, dificultando las funciones del pie en el apoyo y en la marcha.
The performance of the feet interferes on the posture, walk and on the wear of shoes. Deformities may appear due to structural changes motivated by the muscular imbalance as it seems to happen on hallux valgus (HV). The adductor hallucis muscle is considered important at this imbalance. Analyze the role of the AHM on the dynamics of the hallux and the forefoot as well as in the genesis of the HV. Dissection of 28 isolated feet (3 with HV), preserved in formaldehyde acquired from the Anatomy Laboratory of Petrópolis School of Medicine to obtain the morphometry of the HAM: length of the oblique and transverse heads (L-TH; L-OH); width of the heads (W-TH; W-OH) and angle between the heads (q). Medium values (mm), obtained from the feet without the deformity L-TH= 27.04; W-TH=13.23; L-OH= 51,45; W-OH=17.58 ; q (TH/OH) =31, and the ones with HV: L-TH=23.80; W-TH=12.03; L-OH=48.25;W-OH=16.89; q (CT/CO)=52. The morphology of the AHM varies between the healthy and the feet with the HV. The AHM fixing on the metatarsal phalangeal joints and on the lateral sesamoid of the great toe may be the cause or the consequence of the q (CT/CO) variance that leads to the HV. The amputation of the great toe may flatten the anterior transverse arch, by muscular tension, hindering the functions of the foot such as support and walk.
