We reviewed the results of the Keller arthroplasty in combination with resection arthroplasty of the forefoot in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Of the 29 patients (49 feet) in the series, 20 had involvement of both feet and nine had involvement of a single foot. The average age of the patients was 55.4 years, and the average follow-up period was 4.9 years. All feet had resection of the lesser metatarsal heads, resection of the base of the proximal phalanges of the lesser toe, and a Keller arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The results were satisfactory in 16 feet, satisfactory with some reservations in 21 feet, satisfactory with major reservations in seven feet, and unsatisfactory in five feet. For 40 of the 49 feet (82%), the patients stated that they would repeat the procedure, knowing the results achieved. The major causes of patient reservations and lack of satisfaction were return of the hallux valgus deformity and pain (53%), forefoot instability (27%), and continuing metatarsalgia (20%). Resection arthroplasty of the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints of the forefoot in rheumatoid disease is a satisfactory procedure. When used in combination with Keller resection arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, however, an increased number of unsatisfactory results occur, attributable to returning pain and deformity of that joint.

Metatarsophalangeal Joints

The reliability and effectiveness of the treatment of hallux rigidus and sympomatic arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint by the technique of cone arthrodesis are discussed. The authors reviewed the long-term results of cone arthrodesis in 51 patients with 60 operated feet. The average age was 55 years (range, 28 to 75 years) and the average length of follow-up was 39 months (range, 1 to 12 years). On questioning the patients regarding function, cosmesis, and pain, 41 of 51 patients were happy, eight of 51 patients were satisfied, and two of 51 were unhappy with their feet. No patient complained of persistent or recurrent hallux valgus deformity. Radiologically and clinically 58 of 60 first metatarsophalangeal joints were solidly fused. Two patients had a fibrous ankylosis which was functional and painless. Function with respect to gait and ability to walk on tiptoe and run was normal in all patients. In summary, the authors feel that this procedure is a reliable, effective treatment of painful arthritis of this joint.

Background First metatarsophalangeal joint fusion is a commonly used procedure for treating many pathologic disorders of the first ray. Historically, hallux valgus deformity with severely increased intermetatarsal angle or metatarsus primus adductus indicated need for a proximal metatarsal procedure. However, the effectiveness and reliability of first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis in reducing the intermetatarsal angle has been increasingly described in the literature. We compared findings at our institution with current literature for further validation of this well-accepted procedure in correcting hallux valgus deformity with high intermetatarsal angle. Methods Weightbearing preoperative and postoperative radiographs of 43 patients, 31 women and 12 men, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified. Two independent investigators measured the hallux abductus and intermetatarsal angles. Preoperative and postoperative measurements for each angle were compared and average reduction calculated. The data were further analyzed by grouping deformities as mild, moderate, and severe. Mean follow-up was 10 months. Results The overall mean preoperative intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles decreased significantly (from 13.09° to 9.33° and from 23.72° to 12.19°, respectively; both P < .01). When grouping deformities as mild, moderate, and severe, all of the categories maintained reduction of intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles (P < .01). Furthermore, the mean reduction of the intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles seemed to correlate with preoperative deformity severity. Conclusions In patients undergoing correction of hallux valgus deformity, first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis produced consistent reductions in the intermetatarsal and hallux abductus angles. Furthermore, these findings are consistent with those reported by other institutions.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Surgical correction of hallux valgus rebalances the first ray, correcting the various features of the deformity. While several surgical methods are available, consensus regarding the best management has yet to be established. In the last decades, there was an increasing interest in mini-invasive procedures. In this scenario the Bosch technique appears to be a reproducible DMO to achieve proper correction. Theoretically, it allows for fast and safe correction of the deformity, however it was criticized for its unstable nature. We describe a new distal metatarsal osteotomy (DMO) that it is a combination of the (traditional) chevron and the (mini-invasive) Bosch-SERI techniques. The purpose of this investigation is to describe the surgical technique and report the results of this modified procedure at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Methods: Between January 2016 and June 2018, 63 consecutive patients, with mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity underwent corrective surgery using the BC technique. Preoperatively, each patient’s data was recorded and all patients underwent an assessment of functional limitation and pain level as well as a physical examination that included measurement of the passive range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. At final follow up, the patients were assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society’s (AOFAS) hallux- metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal scale. Additionally, patients were asked to rate their satisfaction with regard to the overall result of the operation according to the Coughlin overall satisfaction scale. Anteroposterior and lateral weight-bearing radiographs were made preoperatively as well as at the short-term and intermediate-term follow-up evaluations. The HVA, the first IMA, and the congruency of the first metatarsophalangeal joint were measured with the technique recommended by the AOFAS. Results: BC osteotomy was performed in 62 patients, including 33 right feet and 29 left feet, with no bilateral procedures. The patient population consisted of 50 females (79%), with an average age of 50.4 years (range 19 to 75) years. The mean follow-up time was 36.5 months (range 23 to 59). The mean AOFAS score improved from 69.3 preoperatively to 88 postoperatively (p<0.001). IMA and HVA pre and postoperative improved from a median of 30.7 degrees to 11.1 degrees for HVA and 13.9 degrees to 6.5 degrees for the IMA (p<0.001). 82.5% of patients were very satisfied / satisfied with the procedure. There were no cases of infection, however we observed two cases of complex regional pain syndrome and two screws that required removal. Conclusion: We believe this osteotomy has a number of advantages: (1) one mini-invasive approach is used; (2) a large correction can be obtained in all directions including the frontal and sagittal planes; (3) blood supply to the metatarsal head is preserved; and (4) intrinsically stable OT, allowing immediate full weight bearing. The merge, of percutaneous techniques and classic stable fixed approach may seems to offer a stable, effective and reproducible correction of hallux valgus deformity with the advantages of a minimally-invasive technique

Bone Structures

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.

Hallux Valgus Deformity

Thirty-eight patients (50 feet) were treated with Keller resection arthroplasties combined with fibular sesamoidectomies. Thirty-six patients were females (48 feet) and two were males (two feet). Their ages ranged from 55 to 87 years and averaged 68.4 years. Preoperative metatarsophalangeal (MTP) angles averaged 34° (range, 10 to 55°) and intermetatarsal (IM) angles averaged 15° (range, 8 to 27°). All patients were evaluated at an average of three years after surgery. An average correction of 18° in the MTP angle and 6° in the IM angle were obtained. At follow-up, 76% of patients had no pain, 14% had mild pain, and 10% had moderate pain; 76% had no activity limitations, 22% had recreational limitations, and 2% had daily limitations. Ninety-five percent of patients were satisfied with the results of their surgery.

First Ray

Today, bunion surgery is still controversial. Considering that a bunion deformity in fact may be a result of multiple causes, the rationale of the currently applied techniques of surgical treatment has not been conclusively demonstrated. In view of the known hypermobility syndrome of the first ray that results in insufficient weightbearing beneath the first metatarsal head, the relationship between this syndrome and hallux valgus deformity has been investigated. The results suggest a direct relationship between painful hallux valgus deformity and hypermobility in extension of the first tarsometatarsal joint. A pathological mechanism of symptomatic hallux valgus is proposed that relates this pathology with primary weightbearing disturbances in the forefoot where angulation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is one of the consequences. The alignment of the metatarsal heads within the sagittal plane seems to be a main concern in many hallux valgus deformities. As a consequence, treatment includes reestablishing stable sagittal alignment in addition to the horizontal reposition of the metatarsal over the sesamoid complex. As an example, first tarsometatarsal reorientation arthrodesis regulates the elasticity of the multiarticular first ray within the sagittal plane and may be the treatment of choice in many hallux valgus deformities.

Return To Activity

Sesamoidectomy of the first metatarsophalangeal joint in athletically active patients may be indicated in cases of chronic sesamoiditis resistant to nonsurgical care or symptomatic displaced fractures or nonunion. Painful scar, hallux deviation, and delayed return to activity are all potential complications. These need to be considered especially when performing surgery in the athletically active individual. Twenty-six sesamoidectomies in 24 patients (21 females and 3 males) were reviewed for type of sesamoidectomy, incision location, time to return to activity, and complications. Mean age was 35.4 years (range, 16–68 years) with mean follow-up 86.4 months. Eleven athletes (defined as professional or varsity level sports) operated on had a mean return to activity of 7.5 weeks (range, 4–10 weeks), while 13 “active” patients had a mean return to activity of 12.0 weeks. This difference was statistically significant using the t-test, ( p <.02). There were 10 fibular and 16 tibial sesamoids excised. Complications included one hallux varus and two cases of postoperative scarring with neuroma-like symptoms, all associated with fibular sesamoidectomy; there was one case of hallux valgus deformity with tibial sesamoidectomy. Despite the functional importance of tibial and fibular sesamoids, athletically active individuals can return to sports after a sesamoidectomy as early as 7.5 weeks.

The modified McBride technique is widely used in bunion surgery. The aim of this report is to analyze the influence that transferring the adductor hallucis tendon had on the first intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux abductus angle (HAA), and tibial sesamoid position (TSP) when used to correct the hallux valgus deformity. A prospective study was conducted of 31 hallux abducto valgus patients. A modified McBride procedure was performed to repair the deformity. In 16 patients (group 1), the adductor tendon was transferred, and in 15 (group 2), it was not. The tendon transfer was at random. The preoperative and postoperative variables IMA, HAA, and TSP were measured and analyzed by means of univariate and multivariate statistics. In group 1, the preoperative values of the first IMA and the HAA averaged 13.5° and 30°, respectively, decreasing postoperatively to 10.3° and 10.7°. In group 2, the corresponding preoperative angles were 12.9° and 25.6°, and the postoperative angles were 9.7° and 10°. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in the correction of the IMA, HAA, and TSP. As measured by the aforementioned radiographic measurements, there is no advantage in transferring the adductor hallucis tendon to the first metatarsophalangeal joint capsule in the correction of hallux valgus
