Project description:Severe flatfoot deformity with lack of coverage of the talonavicular joint is frequently treated by triple arthrodesis. Various arthroscopic triple arthroscopic techniques have been described to reduce the extent of soft-tissue dissection. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of 3-portal arthroscopic triple arthrodesis for correction of severe flatfoot deformity. This approach allows thorough preparation of all fusion surfaces, and the bone removal by decortications facilitates reduction of the talonavicular joint and correction of the forefoot supination.

Project description:Originally described as a means to address fixed deformities or uncontrolled movement of the hindfoot observed in paralytic foot deformities, triple arthrodesis has evolved into a powerful procedure for the correction of a variety of foot deformities. Over the past decade, multiple advances have been made with respect to diagnostic imaging, fixation options, bone graft substitutes, and postoperative regimens. While this operation requires experience and skill to execute, when properly performed, it allows for correction of deformity and a plantigrade and ideally pain-free foot for ambulation. The purpose of this review is to highlight advances in the procedure and its application to the rigid planovalgus foot.Level of evidenceLevel V, review.

Project description:To analyze the efficacy of arthrodesis combined with osteotomy applied to subtalar, calcaneocuboid, and talonavicular joints for the treatment of adult rigid flatfoot.This retrospective study included 29 adult patients with rigid flatfoot who underwent triple arthrodesis combined with osteotomy from January 2015 to December 2017. All patients suffered from stage III of adult acquired flatfoot. Patients returned for a clinical and radiologic follow-up evaluation at an average of 19.5 (range, 15-27) months postoperatively. Outcomes were assessed by comparing pre- and postoperative AOFAS scores, VAS pain scores, and Karlsson scores, and the radiographic assessment including Meary, Pitch, and Kite angles.Twenty six patients returned for final evaluation. Twenty four patients had an excellent or good outcome on patient subjective self-assessment. All the VAS scores, AOFAS scores, and Karlsson scores at final follow-up showed different extents of improvement. The mean Meary angle significantly decreased from 25.8 ± 5.4 degrees preoperatively to 6.9 ± 7.7 degrees at final follow-up, and the mean Pitch angle improved markedly from 12.5 ± 3.7 points preoperatively to 23.2 ± 4.1 points at final follow-up (P < .001).Arthrodesis combined with osteotomy can effectively correct calcaneal valgus deformity, restore arch structure, and relieve foot pain in adult rigid flatfoot.

Project description:Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is indicated for hallux valgus associated with degenerative changes, severe deformity, or rheumatoid arthritis and those for whom primary hallux valgus surgery has failed. Open approach requires extensive soft tissue dissection. The purpose of this Technical Note was to report the details of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in severe and rigid hallux valgus deformity. This is a combination of endoscopic lateral release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and arthroscopic arthrodesis of the joint. Endoscopic lateral release will convert the deformity into a flexible one and facilitate a subsequent arthrodesis procedure.

Project description:Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) comprises a wide spectrum of ligament and tendon failure that may result in significant deformity and disability. It is often associated with posterior tibial tendon deficiency (PTTD), which has been linked to multiple demographic factors, medical comorbidities, and genetic processes. AAFD is classified using stages I through IV. Nonoperative treatment modalities should always be attempted first and often provide resolution in stages I and II. Stage II, consisting of a wide range of flexible deformities, is typically treated operatively with a combination of soft tissue procedures and osteotomies. Stage III, which is characterized by a rigid flatfoot, typically warrants triple arthrodesis. Stage IV, where the flatfoot deformity involves the ankle joint, is treated with ankle arthrodesis or ankle arthroplasty with or without deltoid ligament reconstruction along with procedures to restore alignment of the foot. There is limited evidence as to the optimal procedure; thus, the surgical indications and techniques continue to be researched.

Project description:The talonavicular joint is a common site for osteoarthritis of the foot. Talonavicular arthrodesis is the surgical treatment for symptomatic talonavicular osteoarthritis. Classically, this is performed via an open approach and is associated with a rate of nonunion that ranges from 3% to 37%. Arthroscopic talonavicular arthrodesis has been proposed to provide better intra-articular visualization, conserve bone blood supply to improve the union rate, and reduce soft-tissue complications such as wound dehiscence, infection, and neurovascular injury. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of arthroscopic talonavicular arthrodesis for management of talonavicular osteoarthritis.

Project description:Hypermobility of the first tarsometatarsal joint can associate with different clinical problems, e.g., hallux valgus, hallux elevatus, hallux rigidus, and transverse metatarsalgia or arthritis of the second metarsocuneiform joint. The first tarsometatarsal joint may also contribute to other foot deformities involving the medial foot column. Osteoarthritis of this joint is one of the causes of medial foot pain. Arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal joint (modified Lapidus procedure) is indicated for these conditions, which are resistant to conservative treatment. Lapidus arthrodesis has several potential complications, including first metatarsal shortening, metatarsal elevates, and nonunion. Arthroscopic Lapdius arthrodesis has been reported to reduce these complications. In this Technical Note, the technical details of arthroscopic Lapidus arthrodesis is described.

Project description:Tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc) osteoarthritis can be a disabling condition and is commonly due to posttraumatic causes. Tarsometatarsal arthrodesis is indicated if the pain does not subdue with conservative treatment. Classically, this is performed as an open procedure. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a minimally invasive approach of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the involved tarsometatarsal joints. The arthroscopic procedure is performed through the junction portals of the involved articulation. It has the advantages of better cosmesis, less wound complication, less bone resection, and more thorough joint debridement. However, it is contraindicated if there is an associated significant foot deformity or shortening of the involved foot rays.

Project description:Surgical fusion of the subtalar joint is a procedure indicated to alleviate pain of subtalar origin, such as in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, and other disorders. Open subtalar arthrodesis has been performed with predictable results, but concerns exist regarding injury to proprioception and local vascularity due to wide surgical dissection. Minimally invasive techniques try to improve results by avoiding these issues but have a reputation for being technically demanding. We describe the surgical technique for arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis, which has proved to be a safe and reliable technique in our experience, with consistent improvements in American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scores.

Project description:Arthrodesis of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb is an effective treatment for pain, deformity, or instability at the joint. Arthroscopic interphalangeal arthrodesis of the thumb is a minimally invasive surgery and has better cosmetic results and less surgical trauma as compared with the open approaches. The purpose of this technical note is to report the details of the arthroscopic interphalangeal arthrodesis with oblique placement of the headless screw. No traction device is used for this technique. It is indicated in recalcitrant painful arthritis of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb. It is contraindicated in case of significant deformity of the joint as a result of subchondral bone collapse. It is also contraindicated if there is impinging volar osteophyte, local infection, or lack of expertise.
