A total of 118 feet with Hallux valgus and Hallux rigidus treated by the Keller-Brandes method were re-examined clinically and radiologically after 9.1 years (range: 1.7-24.3). Correction of the Hallux valgus angle was obtained from an average of 40 degrees to 23 degrees in the Hallux valgus group. Improvement in the postoperative range of motion was observed when the aftertreatment consisted of Kirschner-wire distraction instead of an axial Kirschner-wire transfixation. The patients who underwent Keller-Brandes surgery for Hallux valgus had less pain when the aftertreatment was carried out using an axial Kirschner wire, while those operated on for Hallux rigidus had less pain when the aftertreatment consisted of distraction. The percentage of satisfied or very satisfied patients with the cosmetic results of the Keller-Brandes arthroplasty was more than 66.7%. Patients with Hallux valgus and postoperative aftertreatment with Kirschner wire transfixation were the most satisfied patients, while patients with Hallux rigidus were very satisfied with the postoperative distraction. Our good results are comparable to those in other studies and confirm the success of the Keller-Brandes resection arthroplasty in Hallux valgus with osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in older patients whose demand for movement is less, and in Hallux rigidus in less active older patients.
