Project description:Small-joint arthroscopy has supplanted open procedures because it offers the potential for improvement in joint visualization, reduced scarring, and accelerated recovery. Despite these advantages, arthroscopy of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is not commonly performed and reports of its use are lacking. The reason for this is not clear but may be because of perceived technical complexity and poorly defined indications. In our experience, however, arthroscopy of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a versatile procedure that facilitates treatment of many different pathologic processes through a minimally invasive approach with few complications. We present our technique for arthroscopic management of osteochondral lesions of the hallux.

Project description:BackgroundInstability of the first-tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint has been proposed as a cause of hallux valgus. Although there is literature demonstrating how first-TMT arthrodesis affects hallux valgus, there is little published on how correction of hallux valgus affects the first-TMT joint alignment. The purpose of this study was to determine if correction of hallux valgus impacts the first-TMT alignment and congruency. Improvement in alignment would provide evidence that hallux valgus contributes to first-TMT instability. Our hypothesis was that correcting hallux valgus angle (HVA) would have no effect on the first-TMT alignment and congruency.MethodsRadiographs of patients who underwent first-MTP joint arthrodesis for hallux valgus were retrospectively reviewed. The HVA, 1-2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA), first metatarsal-medial cuneiform angle (1MCA), medial cuneiform-first metatarsal angle (MC1A), relative cuneiform slope (RCS), and distal medial cuneiform angle (DMCA) were measured and recorded for all patients preoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsOf the 76 feet that met inclusion criteria, radiographic improvements were noted in HVA (23.6 degrees, P < .0001), 1-2 IMA (6.2 degrees, P < .0001), 1MCA (6.4 degrees, P < .0001), MC1A (6.5 degrees, P < .0001), and RCS (3.3 degrees, P = .001) comparing preoperative and postoperative radiographs. There was no difference noted with DMCA measurements (0.5 degrees, P = .53).ConclusionOur findings indicate that the radiographic alignment and subluxation of the first-TMT joint will reduce with isolated treatment of the first-MTP joint. Evidence suggests that change in the HVA can affect radiographic alignment and subluxation of the first-TMT joint.Level of evidenceLevel IV, retrospective case series.

Project description:ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to biomechanically compare the stability of first metatarsophalangeal (MTP1) joint arthrodesis with dorsally and medially positioned plates.MethodsA physical model of the MTP1 joint consists of printed synthetic bones, a titanium locking plate and screws. In the experiments, samples with dorsally and medially positioned plates were subjected to loading of ground load character in a universal testing machine. Force-displacement relations and relative displacements of bones were recorded. The obtained results were used to validate the corresponding finite element models of the MTP1 joint. Nonlinear finite element simulations of the toe-off phase of gait were performed to determine the deformation and stress state in the MTP1 joint for two positions of the plate.ResultsIn numerical simulations, the maximum displacement in the dorsal direction was noticed at the tip of the distal phalanx and was equal to 19.6 mm for the dorsal plate and 9.63 mm for the medial plate for a resultant force of 150 N. Lower relative bone displacements and smaller plastic deformation in the plate were observed in the model with the medial plate. Stress values were also smaller in the medially positioned plate and locking screws compared to fixation with the dorsal plate.ConclusionsA medially positioned locking plate provides better stability of the MTP1 joint than a dorsally positioned plate due to greater vertical bending stiffness of the medial plate. Smaller relative bone displacements observed in fixation with the medial plate may be beneficial for the bone healing process. Moreover, lower stress values may decrease the risk of complications associated with hardware failure.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to develop a new method to reconstruct damaged metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) of Homo naledi's fossil and to deepen the understanding of the first metatarsal head (FMH) morphological adaptation in different gait patterns. To this purpose three methods were introduced. The first served to compare the anthropometric linear and volumetric measurements of Homo naledi's MTPJ to that of 10 various athletes. The second was employed to measure curvature diameter in FMH's medial and lateral grooves for sesamoid bones. The third was used to determine the parallelism between medial and lateral FMH grooves. The anthropometric measurements of middle-distance runner to the greatest extent mimicked that of Homo naledi. Thus, it was used to successfully reconstruct the damaged Homo naledi's MTPJ. The highest curvature diameter of medial FMH groove was found in Homo naledi, while in lateral FMH groove it was the highest in volleyball player, suggesting their increased bear loading. The parallelism of medial and lateral FMH grooves was observed only in Homo naledi, while in investigated athletes it was dis-parallel. Athletes' dis-paralleled structures make first MTPJ simple flexion movement a complicated one: not rotating about one axis, but about many, which may result in bringing a negative effect on running. In conclusion, the presented method for the reconstruction of the damaged foot bone paves the way for morphological and structural analysis of modern population and fossil hominins' gait pattern.

Project description:Hallux varus deformity most commonly occurs as a complication of bunion surgery. Surgical option depends on the underlying cause, flexibility of the deformity, and presence of osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Joint-preserving surgery including medial soft tissue release, metatarsal osteotomy, and tendon transfer can be considered in flexible deformity without degeneration of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis is indicated in cases of inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, neuromuscular disorder, or failed previous hallux varus corrective surgery. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the technique of arthroscopic arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint to correct hallux varus deformity. It has the potential advantages of less surgical trauma, preservation of blood supply, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results.

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:Arthrofibrosis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint may cause significant limitation of sport and daily activities. Surgical release is indicated if conservative management fails. Open release may have a high recurrence rate of joint stiffness because the surgical trauma will induce fibrous tissue formation and the presence of lengthy surgical wounds may hinder early joint mobilization. Arthroscopic release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is a minimally invasive approach that may be the treatment of choice for arthrofibrosis of the joint. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of the 3-portal approach of arthroscopic release of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

Project description:BackgroundFirst metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is commonly performed for symptomatic end-stage hallux rigidus. It has been postulated to produce good results in the literature. Various fixation techniques offer differences in union rates, complications and functional outcomes, stirring debates about which produces the best outcomes for patients. Therefore, this review aims to synthesise and compare the outcomes of modern fixation techniques used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (FMPJ) arthrodesis.MethodsThe electronic database searched were PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The critical appraisal skills programme tool for cohort study was used. The interventions consisted of screw(s), plate(s), and staple(s). Studies comprising outdated fixation techniques such as suture, metallic wire, external fixation, Rush rods or Steinmann pins were excluded. Participants were adults over 18 years, undergoing FMPJ arthrodesis in the UK. Studies with the population consisting primarily of revision cases, patients with rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes were excluded.ResultsSeven UK studies included 277 feet and a 95.7% overall union rate at a mean union time of 83.5 days. Staples had the highest union rate of 98.2% at mean union time of 84 days, followed by plates (95.2%, 92 days), and finally screws (94.9%, 71 days). The overall complication incidence is 5.8%. All of the fixation techniques produced good functional outcomes postoperatively.ConclusionsWhilst staple techniques showed the highest union rate, plating techniques are preferable over screws or staples for better results across several outcome measures, including reduced complication incidence, stability, early ambulation, and good functional outcome. The Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire and EuroQol-5Dimensional are recommended as measurement tools to assess functional outcomes following FMPJ arthrodesis.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine whether neuropathic pain is a feature of first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsA total of 98 participants (mean ± SD age 57.4 ± 10.3 years) with symptomatic radiographic first MTP joint OA completed the PainDETECT questionnaire (PD-Q), which has 9 questions regarding the intensity and quality of pain. The likelihood of neuropathic pain was determined using established PD-Q cutoff points. Participants with unlikely neuropathic pain were then compared to those with possible/likely neuropathic pain in relation to age, sex, general health (Short Form 12 [SF-12] health survey), psychological well-being (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), pain characteristics (self-efficacy, duration, and severity), foot health (Foot Health Status Questionnaire [FHSQ]), first MTP dorsiflexion range of motion, and radiographic severity. Effect sizes (Cohen's d coefficient) were also calculated.ResultsA total of 30 (31%) participants had possible/likely neuropathic pain (19 possible [19.4%], 11 likely [11.2%]). The most common neuropathic symptoms were sensitivity to pressure (56%), sudden pain attacks/electric shocks (36%) and burning (24%). Compared to those with unlikely neuropathic pain, those with possible/likely neuropathic pain were significantly older (d = 0.59, P = 0.010), had worse SF-12 physical scores (d = 1.10, P < 0.001), pain self-efficacy scores (d = 0.98, P < 0.001), FHSQ pain scores (d = 0.98, P < 0.001), and FHSQ function scores (d = 0.82, P < 0.001), and had higher pain severity at rest (d = 1.01, P < 0.001).ConclusionA significant proportion of individuals with first MTP joint OA report symptoms suggestive of neuropathic pain, which may partly explain the suboptimal responses to commonly used treatments for this condition. Screening for neuropathic pain may be useful in the selection of targeted interventions and may improve clinical outcomes.

Project description:Cartilage and osteochondral lesions of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP-1) joint are characterized by pain during weight bearing and walking. The lesions often require surgical intervention(s). Arthroscopic bone marrow stimulation may be considered the preferred operative intervention for small lesions. Technological advances, patient preferences, and economic considerations combine to foster the development of minimally invasive needle arthroscopic procedures. This technical note presents and highlights our minimally invasive surgical technique for needle arthroscopic treatment through bone marrow stimulation for osteochondral lesions of the MTP-1 joint.
