The modified oblique keller capsular interpositional arthroplasty for hallux rigidus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hallux rigidus is a common problem characterized by localized osteoarthritis and limited range of motion of the hallux. First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis has been the accepted procedure for the treatment of late-stage disease. Despite the success of arthrodesis, some patients object to the notion of eliminating motion at the metatarsophalangeal joint. For this reason, motion-sparing procedures such as the modified oblique Keller capsular interpositional arthroplasty have been developed.

Methods

We compared a cohort of ten patients (ten toes) who had undergone the modified Keller arthroplasty with a group of twelve patients (twelve toes) who had undergone a first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis at an average of sixty-three and sixty-eight months, respectively. Clinical outcomes were evaluated, and range of motion, great toe dynamometer strength, plantar pressures, and radiographs were assessed.

Results

Clinical outcome differences existed between the groups, with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score being significantly higher for the arthroplasty group than for the arthrodesis group. The arthroplasty group had a mean of 54 degrees of passive and 30 degrees of active range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The plantar pressure data revealed significantly higher pressures in the arthrodesis group under the great toe but not under the second metatarsal head.

Conclusions

The modified oblique Keller capsular interpositional arthroplasty appears to be a motion-sparing procedure with clinical outcomes equivalent to those of arthrodesis, and it is associated with a more normal pattern of plantar pressures during walking.

Project description:BackgroundHallux rigidus (HR) is a common source of forefoot pain and disability. For those who fail nonoperative treatment, minimally invasive dorsal cheilectomy (MIDC) is an increasingly popular alternative to the open approach with early positive results. Early failures may be due to lose bone debris from the MIDC as well as other intra-articular pathology that cannot be addressed with MIDC alone. Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthroscopy can be used in addition to MIDC to assess the joint after MIDC and address any intra-articular pathology while still maintaining the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. We report our clinical outcomes following MIDC combined with MTP arthroscopy.MethodsFrom November 2017 to July 2020, a retrospective analysis of all MIDC cheilectomies with MTP arthroscopy performed by the 2 senior authors was done. Wound complications, infections, revision rates, need for future surgery, conversion to fusion rates, pre- and postoperative range of motion, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, time to return to normal shoe, intraoperative arthroscopic findings, and operative time were collected. Follow-up average was 16.5 months (range 3-33 months).ResultsA total of 20 patients were included with an average follow-up of 16.5 months. The average VAS score improved from 7.05 preoperatively to 0.75 postoperatively (P < .05). Average range of motion in dorsiflexion increased from 32 to 48 degrees (P < .05) and plantarflexion increased from 15 to 19 degrees plantarflexion (P < .05). All patients were weightbearing as tolerated immediately after surgery in a postoperative shoe and transitioned to a regular shoe at average of 2.1 weeks. We had no wound infections, wound complications, revision surgeries, tendon injuries or nerve damage. One patient required conversion to a fusion 3 years after the index procedure. Average tourniquet time was 30.39 minutes (range 17-60 minutes) and total average operating room time was 59.7 minutes (range 40-87 minutes). On arthroscopic evaluation of the MTP joint after MIDC, 100% of patients had bone debris, 100% had synovitis, 10% had loose bodies, and 30% had large cartilage flaps within the joint.ConclusionMIDC and first MTP joint arthroscopy for treatment of hallux rigidus provide improved pain relief with minimal complications while still maintaining the benefits touted for minimally invasive operative procedures. Additionally, we have shown a high rate of intra-articular debris along with intra-articular pathology such as synovitis, loose chondral flaps, and loose bodies that exist after MIDC. This combined procedure has the potential for improving patient outcomes and may minimize risk of future revision surgeries compared with MIDC alone.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series study.

Project description:BackgroundHallux rigidus is a common arthritic condition that has been addressed surgically with a range of techniques, from an isolated cheilectomy to first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint fusion. Recently, hemiarthroplasty with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel implant has been used as an alternative treatment to relieve pain while preserving motion of the first MTP joint. We retrospectively reviewed patient-reported outcome scores and clinical outcomes for patients treated for hallux rigidus with PVA hydrogel implant at an academic, multisurgeon center.MethodsA total of 103 patients who underwent first MTP hemiarthroplasty with PVA hydrogel implant between January 2017 and October 2018 were retrospectively reviewed (average, 26.2 months). Eight surgeons were represented. Baseline Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores for the Physical Function, Pain Interference, Pain Intensity, Global Physical Health, Global Mental Health, and Depression domains were collected prospectively and compared with PROMIS scores collected at a minimum of 1 year postoperatively (average, 13.9 months). Seventy-three patients had both preoperative and postoperative scores. Ten of these patients had undergone a prior procedure of the first MTP, and 52 underwent concurrent Moberg osteotomy at the time of PVA hydrogel implantation.ResultsFor patients with baseline and postoperative PROMIS scores, significant pre- to postoperative improvement was detected for the Physical Function, Pain Interference, Pain Intensity, and Global Physical Health domains (P < .05). Patients who had undergone a prior procedure of the first MTP had significantly higher postoperative Pain Intensity scores compared with those who did not undergo a prior procedure. Patients undergoing concurrent Moberg osteotomy had significantly lower postoperative Pain Interference and Pain Intensity scores compared with those who did not undergo a Moberg. Two patients underwent revision procedures in the first 2 years postoperatively, one with revision hemiarthroplasty and one with conversion to arthrodesis.ConclusionOn average across our entire cohort, physical function and pain scores improved significantly pre- to postoperatively; however, postoperative pain scores were significantly higher for patients who had undergone a prior procedure of the first MTP and significantly lower for patients who underwent concurrent Moberg osteotomy. The implant displayed excellent survivorship in the first 2 years postoperatively, with only 2 revision procedures.Level of evidenceLevel III, comparative series.

Project description:BackgroundWhile metatarsus primus elevatus (MPE) has been implicated in the development of hallux rigidus, previous studies have presented conflicting findings regarding the relationship between MPE and arthritis. This may be due to the variety of definitions for MPE and the radiographic measurement techniques that are used to assess it. Additionally, previous studies have only assessed elevation of the first metatarsal with respect to the floor or the second metatarsal, and not with respect to the proximal phalanx. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of new radiographic measurements that consider the elevation of the first metatarsal in relation to the proximal phalanx, rather than in relation to the second metatarsal as previously described, to assess for MPE. In addition, we aimed to determine whether the elevation of the first metatarsal was significantly different in patients with hallux rigidus than in a control population.MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted from prospectively collected registry data at the investigators' institution to identify patients with hallux rigidus (n = 65). A size-matched control cohort of patients without evidence for first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthritis was identified (n = 65). Patients with a previous history of foot surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, or hallux valgus were excluded. Five blinded raters of varying levels of training, including 2 research assistants, 1 senior orthopedic resident, 1 foot and ankle fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, and 1 attending musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist, evaluated 7 radiographic measurements for their reliability in assessing for MPE in hallux rigidus and control groups. Four of the 7 were newly designed measurements that include the relationship of the first MTP joint. Inter- and intrarater reliability were calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and categorized by Landis and Koch reliability thresholds. The measurements between the hallux rigidus and control populations were compared using an independent t test.ResultsSix of the 7 radiographic measurements were found to have substantial to almost perfect interrater reliability (ICC, 0.800-0.953) between all levels of training, except for the proximal phalanx-first metatarsal angle, which showed moderate reliability (ICC, 0.527). Substantial to almost perfect intrarater reliability (ICC, 0.710-0.982) was demonstrated by the measurements performed by research assistants. All 7 of the measurements taken by the musculoskeletal fellowship-trained radiologist demonstrated significant differences in first metatarsal elevation between the hallux rigidus and control populations, with the hallux rigidus group showing increased elevation (P < .001-.019).ConclusionThis study confirmed the reliability of 7 radiographic measurements used to assess for MPE, including 3 previously established and 4 newly described measurements. Observers across all levels of training were able to demonstrate reliable measurements. In addition, the measurements were used to show that patients with hallux rigidus were more likely to have MPE compared with patients without radiographic evidence for first MTP arthritis. These measurements could be used in future work to examine how the presence of MPE relates to the etiology and progression of hallux rigidus, and how it affects the results of operative treatment.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective comparative study.

Project description:BackgroundFor hallux rigidus, dorsal cheilectomy remains a treatment option even with advances in interposition techniques and devices. Cheilectomy aims to alleviate dorsal impingement and improve pain and function as well as range of motion. Cryopreserved umbilical cord allograft, with properties to mitigate inflammation and scar formation, has theoretical benefit for improving outcomes following cheilectomy. In this first prospective randomized and blinded cheilectomy study reported, we aimed to compare outcomes between cheilectomy alone and cheilectomy with umbilical cord allograft.MethodsPatients were randomized to cheilectomy alone (CA) or cheilectomy with cryopreserved umbilical cord (ie, amniotic membrane-umbilical cord [AM-UC]). Patients were evaluated with American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS), Foot Function Index (FFI), and visual analog scale (VAS) pain outcomes collected preoperatively and at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. In addition, radiographic range of motion data were collected using stress radiographs. Fifty-one patients (26 AM-UC, 25 CA) completed the study, with 5 bilateral surgeries in the AM-UC group and 2 in the CA group, totaling 31 and 27 feet, respectively.ResultsThe AM-UC group had statistically significant improved AOFAS and FFI scores at 1 year compared with the CA group, but there was no difference at 6 months. There was no significant difference between groups for VAS-pain scores at any time point, but overall VAS-pain improved in both groups from preoperative values. There was no significant difference in range of motion (total arc) between groups and changes in range of motion (total arc) in both groups from preoperative to 1 year postoperative were small.ConclusionWe present the results of the first randomized and blinded prospective study of cheilectomy surgery patients. When appropriately selected, cheilectomy remains a good option for patients with symptomatic hallux rigidus. Cryopreserved umbilical cord is a potential adjuvant to cheilectomy, with 1-year results showing improvements in functional outcome scores.Level of evidenceLevel II, prospective comparative study.

Project description:BackgroundHallux rigidus (HR) is a common pathology of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint causing pain and stiffness. However, severity of symptoms and radiographic findings are not always concordant. A novel flexibility device, which measures the mobility of the MTP joint through its arc of motion, has been validated. This study compares flexibility in patients before and after cheilectomy (with or without proximal phalanx osteotomy) for HR.MethodsThis is a single-center study of adult patients with HR who were indicated for cheilectomy or cheilectomy and Moberg (dorsiflexion closing wedge) osteotomy of the proximal phalanx based on symptoms and radiographs from 2013 to 2015. Pre- and postoperatively, patients underwent testing with a validated flexibility protocol to generate flexibility curves. Parameters included early and late flexibility, laxity torque, and laxity angle. Patients completed Foot and Ankle Outcomes Scores (FAOS) pre- and postoperatively. Twelve operative patients underwent preoperative testing, with 9 completing postoperative testing (mean age, 53.0 years; 67% female; mean 2.8-year follow-up).ResultsPatients had significant improvements in early sitting and standing flexibility, sitting and standing laxity angles, standing laxity torque, and both sitting and standing maximum dorsiflexion after surgery (all P < .05). While preoperative early flexibility, laxity angle, and maximum dorsiflexion all differed significantly between patients and controls (P < .015), postoperative early flexibility was similar to controls (P > .279). FAOS scores for pain, symptoms, sport, and quality improved significantly after surgery.ConclusionSurgical treatment with cheilectomy was associated with significant improvements in nearly all flexibility parameters for sitting and standing positions. However, most postoperative flexibility parameters did not improve to the level of normal controls. Regardless, patients still experienced significant improvements in outcomes. This study demonstrated that surgical correction is associated with significant biomechanical and clinical results. The flexibility device can be used in further studies to assess outcomes after other HR procedures.Level of evidenceLevel II, prospective comparative study.
