Clínica San Román is pleased to present an important advance in the treatment of hallux valgus, based on a recent prospective cohort study comparing the efficacy and safety of the minimally invasive Chevron and Akin technique (MICA) with the traditional open Chevron osteotomy. This study, with a 1-year follow-up and an evidence level of 2, included 68 patients and demonstrated that both techniques offer significant improvements with no major differences in clinical and radiological outcomes, complication rates or operative times.
This finding demonstrates that the MICA technique is as effective and safe as open osteotomy and offers patients a less invasive treatment option with a faster and less painful recovery. At Clinica San Roman we are committed to innovation and excellence in podiatric care and this research reinforces our mission to offer our patients the most advanced and safest treatment options. With the MICA technique, we reaffirm our leadership in podiatric and surgical treatment of the foot, guaranteeing our patients the best possible results with minimal impact on their quality of life. This approach, in line with our philosophy of personalized care, emphasizes the importance of selecting the most appropriate treatment for each patient, based on the latest scientific evidence and our clinical experience. Clínica San Román remains at the forefront of podiatric treatments, offering innovative solutions that improve the health and well-being of our patients.
