Abstract
Background
Minimally invasive dorsal cheilectomy (MIDC) has become a popular alternative to an open approach for treating Hallux Rigidus (HR). To reduce some of the complications related to the MIDC approach, a first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthroscopy can be performed in addition to address the intra-articular pathology associated with Hallux Rigidus. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of MIDC with first MTP arthroscopy in patients with HR with a minimum 1-year follow-up.
Methods
This was a multicenter retrospective review for adult patients with Coughlin and Shurnass Grade 0–3 who were treated with MIDC and first MTP arthroscopy between 3/1/2020 and 8/1/2022, with at least one year of follow-up data. Demographic information, first MTP range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and EQ-5D-5 L scores were collected. Continuous data was expressed as a mean and standard deviation, categorical data was expressed as a percentage. Wilcoxon Rank Sum test was used to compare continuous variables. All P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results
A total of 31 patients were included in the study. Average follow-up time was 16.5 months (range: 12 to 26.2). There was 1 (3.2%) undersurface EHL tendon tear, 2 (6.5%) conversions to an MTP fusion, and 1 (3.2%) revision cheilectomy and capsular release for MTP joint contracture. There was a significant improvement in patient’s ROM in dorsiflexion (50 vs 89.6 degrees, P = 0.002), postoperative VAS pain scores (6.4 vs 2.1, P < 0.001), MOXFQ pain scores (58.1 vs 30.7, P = 0.001), MOXFQ Walking/Standing scores (56.6 vs 20.6, P = 0.001), MOXFQ Social Interaction scores (47.3 vs 19.36, P = 0.002), and MOXFQ Index scores (54.7 vs 22.4, P < 0.001).
Conclusion
We found that MIDC with first MTP arthroscopy was effective at improving patient-reported outcomes at one year with low complication and revision rates. These results suggest that MIDC with first MTP arthroscopy is an effective treatment for early-stage HR.
期刊介绍:
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
