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: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:BackgroundFoot width reduction is a desirable cosmetic and functional outcome for patients with hallux valgus. Triplanar first tarsometatarsal (TMT) arthrodesis could achieve this goal by 3-dimensional correction of the deformity. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in bony and soft tissue width in patients undergoing triplanar first TMT arthrodesis.MethodsAfter receiving Institutional Review Board approval, charts were retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing triplanar first TMT arthrodesis for hallux valgus at 4 institutions between 2016 and 2019. Patients who underwent concomitant first metatarsal head osteotomies (eg, Silver or Chevron) or fifth metatarsal osteotomies were excluded. Preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior weightbearing radiographs were compared to evaluate for changes in bony and soft tissue width. One hundred forty-eight feet from 144 patients (48.1 ± 15.7 years, 92.5% female) met inclusion criteria.ResultsPreoperative osseous foot width was 96.2 mm, compared to 85.8 mm postoperatively (P < .001). Preoperative soft tissue width was 106.6 mm, compared to 99.3 mm postoperatively (P < .001). Postoperatively, patients had an average 10.4 ± 4.0 mm reduction (10.8% reduction) in osseous width and average 7.3 ± 4.0 mm reduction (6.8% reduction) in soft tissue width.ConclusionsTriplanar first TMT arthrodesis reduced both osseous and soft tissue foot width, providing a desirable cosmetic and functional outcome for patients with hallux valgus. Future studies are needed to determine if patient satisfaction and outcome measures correlate with reductions in foot width. Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

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: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:BackgroundThe proximal opening wedge osteotomy (POWO) of the first metatarsal (TMT-1) is commonly performed in the operative treatment of hallux valgus. Limited work has been dedicated to study POWO's effect on the TMT-1 joint, however. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in TMT-1 joint contact stress following POWO of the first metatarsal.MethodsFive fresh-frozen cadaveric below-knee specimens (mean age: 73 years) with hallux valgus deformities (mean hallux valgus angle [HVA]: 37.4 ± 8.5 degrees) were studied. The specimens were loaded to 400 N on an MTS servohydraulic load frame. Joint contact characteristics at TMT-1 joint were measured with a Tekscan pressure sensor (Model 6900, 1100 psi; Tekscan Inc, Boston, MA) with various opening wedge sizes of 3, 5, and 7 mm both without and with a distal soft tissue release (DSTR). The contact force, area, and peak contact stress were compared among groups using analysis of variance and post hoc multiple comparisons over the untreated (Dunnett test, P < .05).ResultsThe mean contact force was 47.7 ± 33.5 N for untreated specimens. This increased sequentially with opening wedge size and reached statistical significance for 7-mm opening wedge (129.7 ± 62.3 N, P = .01) and 7-mm wedge + DSTR (134.8 ± 60.5 N, P = .008). The mean peak contact stress was 2.8 ± 1.3 MPa for the untreated specimens and increased incrementally with wedge size to 5.7 ± 3.0 MPa for 7-mm wedge only (P = .03) and 5.6 ± 2.5 MPa for 7-mm wedge + DSTR (P = .05). The contact area increased with corrections, but none reached significance.ConclusionWith increasing opening wedge size, loading of the TMT-1 joint increases. Joint stresses higher than 4.7 MPa have been shown to be chondrotoxic, potentially predisposing patients to arthritic joint changes following POWO.Level of evidenceXXXXXX.

Project description:BackgroundSevere adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is often associated with painful medial column collapse at the naviculocuneiform (NC) joint. However, many surgeons surgically correct the deformity without directly addressing this joint. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of first-tarsometatarsal (TMT) fusion combined with subtalar fusion in correcting deformity at the NC joint.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 40 patients (41 feet) who underwent first-TMT and subtalar (ST) fusion as part of a flatfoot reconstructive procedure. We assessed 6 radiographic parameters both preoperatively and at a minimum of 6 months postoperatively, including talonavicular (TN) coverage angle, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, calcaneal pitch, hindfoot moment arm, and a newly defined navicular-cuneiform incongruency angle (NCIA). Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at a minimum 1-year follow-up.ResultsThe NCIA demonstrated excellent interobserver reliability, with no significant change between pre- and postoperative measurements. All other radiographic parameters, except calcaneal pitch, demonstrated statistically significant improvement postoperatively (P < .01). Overall, patients had statistically significant improvement in all PROMIS domains (P < .01), except for depression. Worsening NC deformity was not associated with worse patient-reported outcomes.ConclusionsOur data suggest that when addressing painful collapse of the medial arch in patients with AAFD, fusion of the first-TMT joint in combination with other procedures leads to acceptable radiographic and clinical outcomes. There was no change in deformity at the NC joint in our patient cohort at short-term follow-up, and patients achieved significant improvement in multiple PROMIS domains. Although TMT fusion had no effect on NC deformity, residual or worsening NC deformity did not significantly affect clinical outcomes. In addition, the NCIA was found to be a reliable radiographic parameter to assess NC deformity in the presence of talonavicular and/or first-TMT fusion.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective comparative study.

Project description:PurposeA systematic review to determine the effect of different types of joint preparation, joint fixation, and postoperative weight-bearing protocols on non-union frequency in first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthrodesis in patients with moderate-to-severe hallux valgus.Material and methodsA systematic literature search (PubMed and EMBASE), adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Data on MTPJ preparation, fixation, weight-bearing, and non-union in patients with moderate-to-severe hallux valgus were collected. Quality assessment was performed using the Coleman Methodology Score.ResultsSixteen studies (934 feet) were included, generally of medium quality. Overall non-union rate was 7.7%. At 6.3%, convex/concave joint preparation had the lowest non-union rate vs 12.2% for hand instruments and 22.2% for planar cuts. Non-union of 2.8% was found for joint fixation with a plate combined with a lag screw vs 6.5% for plate fixation, 11.1% for crossed screw fixation, and 12.5% for a plate with a cross plate compression screw. A 5.1% non-union frequency was found following postoperative full weight-bearing on a flat shoe vs 9.3% for full weight-bearing on a heel weight-bearing shoe and 0% for a partial weight-bearing regimen.ConclusionBased on medium-quality papers, joint preparation with convex/concave reamers and joint fixation with a plate using a lag screw show the lowest non-union rate. Full postoperative weight-bearing in a stiff-soled postoperative shoe is safe and not associated with non-union vs a more protective load-bearing regimen. Further research should focus on larger sample sizes, longer follow-ups, and stronger study designs.

Project description:The underlying reason for recurrence of hallux valgus deformity after bunion surgery is multifactorial and includes surgeon-based and patient-based factors as well as original components of deformity initially unaddressed at the index procedure. Surgical treatment of a recurred hallux valgus deformity should be undertaken using the same guidelines for correction of a primary hallux valgus deformity. It requires correction of bony alignment, restoration of joint congruity, and achievement of soft tissue balance. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the details of endoscopic soft tissue procedure to correct a recurred hallux valgus deformity. To successfully complete this procedure, adequate lateral release to achieve soft tissue balance around the first metatarsophalangeal joint with reduction of the sesamoid bones is mandatory.

Project description:Triple arthrodesis has a significant role in the management of hindfoot osteoarthritis and deformity. Traditionally, it is an open procedure with extensive soft tissue dissection. Arthroscopic triple arthrodesis would appear to provide good visualization and preparation of the fusion surfaces while preserving the soft tissue envelope. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a minimally invasive approach of triple arthrodesis to correct chronic flatfoot deformity.
