Abstract

Digital arthroplasty is a standard surgical treatment for hammertoe correction. To date, no study has been performed to evaluate a double K-wire technique for digital arthroplasty. This study examined radiographic correction for digital arthroplasty using a double K-wire technique. A retrospective chart review was performed on consecutive patients undergoing digital arthroplasty through a foot and ankle surgery private practice between December of 2020 to September 2022. A total of 30 patients with 53 hammertoe corrections were included in the study with a minimum of a 1-year follow up. The average transverse and sagittal plane angle improvement postoperatively was 5.2° and 27.2°, respectively with a statistically significant difference. Based on our study, arthroplasty with double K-wire fixation corrects hammertoe deformity as confirmed by radiographic measurements.

双k针技术用于锤状趾矫正的指关节成形术

指关节成形术是锤状趾矫正的标准手术治疗方法。到目前为止，还没有研究评估双k针技术在指关节成形术中的应用。本研究探讨了双k线技术在指关节成形术中的x线矫正。对2020年12月至2022年9月期间通过私人诊所进行足踝手术的连续患者进行回顾性图表回顾。总共有30名患者接受了53例锤状趾矫正，并进行了至少1年的随访。术后横切面和矢状面平均角度改善分别为5.2°和27.2°，差异有统计学意义。根据我们的研究，经x线测量证实，双k针固定关节置换术可矫正锤状趾畸形。
