Background: The metatarsal head and proximal phalanx exhibit considerable asymmetry in their shape and geometry, but there is little documentation in the literature regarding the prevalence of structural characteristics that occur in a given population. Although there is a considerable volume of in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrating first metatarsal inversion around its longitudinal axis with dorsiflexion, little is known regarding the applicability of specific morphometrics to these motions. Methods: Nine distinctive osseous characteristics in the metatarsal head and phalanx were selected based on their location, geometry, and perceived functional relationship to previous studies describing metatarsal motion as inversion with dorsiflexion. The prevalences of the chosen characteristics were determined in a cohort of 21 randomly selected skeletal specimens, 19 of which were provided by the anatomical preparation office at the University of California, San Diego, and two of which were in the possession of one of us (M.D.). Results: The frequency of occurrence of each selected morphological characteristic in this sample and the relevant summary statistics confirm a strong association between the selected features and a conceptual two-axis kinematic model of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Conclusions: The selected morphometrics are consistent with inversion of the metatarsal around its longitudinal axis as it dorsiflexes. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 102(5): 374–389, 2012)

Hallux valgus is characterized by the appearance and growth of a painful “lump” in the region of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the development of forefoot corns, and inability to choose the right shoes, which leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life of these patients. Corrective osteotomies that preserve the metatarsophalangeal joint, for example Austin (Chevron) osteotomy, are usually used for hallux valgus deformity of the I, II degrees. Radiography with the study of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) is a research method that shows the true correlation between bone structures. The correlation between the radiological and functional indicators of osteotomy allows us to determine possible recommendations for indications for surgical treatment of Hallux valgus. Correlation shows that the largest correction of hallux valgus in older patients occurs due to a small adjustment of the angle of DMMA and HVA. IMA had the best correction after Austin osteotomy among patients of a younger age, then the HVA, and the DMMA had minimum correction according to the AOFAS rating scale (Kitaoka). The revealed correlations allow us to determine the correct tactics for the treatment of hallux valgus by identifying the benefits of Austin osteotomy.

Category: Bunion, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Hallux rigidus is a degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Severe, end-stage hallux rigidus can become debilitating with surgical intervention becoming necessary once conservative measures and shoe modifications have failed. Joint salvage procedures include metatarsal phalangeal (MTP) arthrodesis and MTP arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to assess for differences in patient reported outcomes in two cohorts who underwent fusion or joint reconstruction. Methods: This study was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data of 385 patients from an academic medical institution. Patients who underwent surgical intervention from July 2015 to November 2016 were identified based on CPT codes for MTP arthrodesis (28750) and arthroplasty (28293). We extracted outcome scores including SF12-M, SF12-P, FAAM, and VAS scores. Exclusion criteria included poly-trauma, revision procedures, and lack of pre and post-operative outcome scores. Mann- Whitney t-test was performed using GraphPad Prism version 7.0b for Mac to compare procedure groups, with significance define by a p-value of 0.05. Results: A total of eighteen patients met the inclusion criteria, with 6 who underwent arthroplasty and 12 arthrodesis. The average age was 63.7 amongst the cohort, with a total of 16 female and 2 males. Patients who underwent arthrodesis had better outcomes across all parameters. When comparing preoperative and postoperative scores, arthrodesis patients showed greater improvement of SF12-M (arthrodesis 9 vs arthroplasty -2, p=0.05), and SF12-P (9 vs -16, respectively p=0.05) scores. Arthroplasty patients were more likely to have a decrease in their SF-12 scores. VAS scores and FAAM scores showed no statistical difference between the two cohorts. Postoperative VAS scores were worse in 33% of arthroplasty patients despite surgical intervention, compared to 10% of arthrodesis patients. Conclusion: Our results suggests that both procedures provide a statistically significant difference in pain with several patients having a Global Rate of Change that is “very much better”. However, fusion of the metatarsophalangeal joint results in improved pain and functional outcomes for patients with severe hallux rigidus. These findings are consistent with current reports in the literature, which are mostly case series reports. Larger studies are needed to provide appropriate power and better support the findings of this study.
