[Analysis of pressure distribution for the evaluation of gait in patients with hallux valgus surgery].

Peak pressures and regional impulses were determined under the feet of 58 patients treated by a Keller/Brandes surgery. The values were taken in walking by means of a capacitance pressure distribution platform and compared to the pressure values of a normal collective (n = 111). 95% of the patients were satisfied with the surgery. A shift of the pressure and the regional impulse from the hallux to the metatarsal heads, especially to the III. metatarsus could be found.
