The etiological factors leading to the development of the condition are not yet fully understood in the literature. When the hindfoot is aligned in excessive valgus, the medial border of the foot tends to roll over, which brings to increased stress on the medial side of the MTP1 joint, and consequently on the first ray (FR), thus potentially influencing the development of HR deformity. This state of art aims to analyze the influence of FR instability and hindfoot valgus in HR development. From the results of the analyzed studies, it appears that a FR instability may predispose the big toe to increased stress and to narrow the proximal phalanx motion on the first metatarsal, which brings to compression and ultimately degeneration of the MTP1 joint, mostly in advanced stages of disease, less in mild or moderate HR patients. A strong correlation between a pronated foot and MTP1 joint pain was found; forefoot hypermobility during the propulsion phase may promote MTP1 joint instability and increase pain. Thus, the increased moment of pronation of the foot with the overload of the medial column, when present, should be corrected conservatively or surgically; this, most likely, would be useful not only to eliminate or at least limit the painful symptoms but above all to prevent the worsening of the condition, also after the surgical treatment of HR.</p>","PeriodicalId":35682,"journal":{"name":"Acta Biomedica de l''Ateneo Parmense","volume":"94 S2","pages":"e2023116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10135007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association of sarcopenia and osteoporosis defines osteo-sarcopenia. In this work, the authors analyzed the osteometabolic profile and the loco-regional muscular state of patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, in order to define the incidence of district osteosarcopenic states, linked to a condition of disuse.   METHODS   19 patients (10M-9F), between 15 and 85 years old, underwent major orthopedic surgery (15 resection prosthesis and custom made, 2 resection and reconstruction with transplant) were evaluated, of which 9 on an oncological basis. In all patients, the phospho-calcium metabolism was assessed by blood tests and intraoperative muscle biopsy was performed at the intervention site and contralaterally; in 3 cases a densitometric comparative study of the affected/contralateral limb was performed.   RESULTS   Results shows 5 patients with hypovitaminosis D; 7 pcs with hypocalcemia; 5 with PTH rise; 4pcs with ALP increase. In 100% of cases, the biopsy revealed sarcopenic patterns exclusively on the affected limb. 2 out of 3 DEXAs (66%) showed loco-regional osteoporosis compared to the contralateral.   CONCLUSIONS   The fact that in our sample sarcopenia is unilateral affecting only the pathological limb, that it is frequently associated with osteoporosis which is also unilateral and that for the most part it is not associated with vitamin D deficiency, suggests that it is an independent condition, with etiopathogenetic mechanisms different from osteosarcopenia itself. In major orthopedic surgery, bone integration and muscle status are both essential for achieving and lasting positive results. Considering the high incidence of district osteosarcopenia, an integrated surgical, pharmacological, and rehabilitative approach is desirable for the optimization of results, as well as more studies for the definition of the etiopathogenesis of this pathological condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":35682,"journal":{"name":"Acta Biomedica de l''Ateneo Parmense","volume":"94 3","pages":"e2023099"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/1e/b4/ACTA-94-99.PMC10308471.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9728737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
