This rare vascular complication was diagnosed angiographically and coiling was used to stop the arterial bleeding, once deep vein thrombosis, congenital haemostasis, gonitis and compartment syndrome were excluded.

The purpose of this study was comparison of two commonly used methods in DCO, Kirschner (K)-wire and titanium fully threaded headless cannulated screw fixation, based on the clinical and radiological results, and their complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty patients were included in K-wire group and 36 patients were included in screw group. Mean age was 43.4 11.1 (rage; 19-65) years, and mean follow-up was 21.2 5.5 (range; 12-35) months. American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) metatarsophalengeal-interphalangeal score was used for clinical evaluation. For radiological evaluation, hallux valgus angle (HVA), first-second intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), medial sesamoid grade (MSG), and lateral sesamoid distance (LSD) to mid-axis of the second metatarsal were measured for all patients on both preoperativication rate in K-wire group, it was not statistically significant. Moreover, none of the complications was associated with unstable osteotomy, and required re-operation. CONCLUSIONS Both fixation methods provided comparable radiological and clinical outcomes with favourable results after DCO. Key words hallux valgus, distal chevron osteotomy, Kirschner wire, headless cannulated screw, fixation method.PURPOSE OF THE STUDY We hypothesized that preoperative planning with 3D modeling of complex foot defor
