This study aimed to compare maximum displacement and stress distribution of osteotomy ends after minimally invasive osteotomy fixed by bandage, Kirschner wire, Herbert screw. METHODS Foot CT images of a patient with mild-moderate hallux valgus were collected. Three-dimensional finite element model of hallux valgus was established through CT image. This study simulated bandage, Kirschner wire and Herbert screw fixation, and analyzed maximum displacement and stress distribution of osteotomy ends in plantar flexion position of foot after fixation. RESULTS Maximum equivalent stress of osteotomy end fixed with bandage, Kirschner wire, Herbert screw was 7.8615, 14.253, 8.3156 MPa, respectively. Total displacement of osteotomy end fixed by bandage, Kirschner wire, Herbert screw was 0.26,896, 0.022,779, 0.029,195 mm, respectively. Maximum stress of Kirschner wire and Herbert screw near osteotomy end was 154.7 and 46.404 MPa, respectively. Fixation strength and stability of Kirschner wire and Herber screw were better than bandage. Kirschner wire had stress concentration phenomenon, with potential fracture risk. Stress of Herbert screw was evenly distributed around osteotomy end, and there was a certain stress concentration, playing an important role in maintaining fracture end stability. CONCLUSIONS Herbert screw showed good fixation strength and stability, and stress distribution was uniform, which can well maintain stability of minimally invasive osteotomy ends. Findings of this study would provide a theoretical basis for selection of fixation methods after clinical minimally invasive osteotomy for hallux valgus.","PeriodicalId":48794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10053966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this study are to explore the quantitative morphology of ST in dried bone specimens, and to discuss its implications related to ST screw fixation, talar articular facet variation, as well as subtalar coalitions. METHODS A total of 965 dried intact calcanei from Chinese adult donors were evaluated. All linear parameters were measured by two observers with a digital sliding vernier caliper. RESULTS Most parts of ST body can accommodate a commonly-used 4-mm-diameter screw, but the minimum height of anterior ST is only 4.02 mm. The shapes of the STs are slightly affected by left-right, subtalar facet, but the subtalar coalition may potentially increase the sizes of STs. The incidence of tarsal coalition is 14.09%. Among the osseous connection, there are 58.8% of type A articular surface and 76.5% of middle and posterior talar facet (MTF and PTF) involvement. ROC curve shows that subtalar coalition will be detected when ST length is greater than 16.815 mm. CONCLUSIONS Theoretically, all the STs can accommodate 4 mm diameter screw, but a 3.5 mm diameter screw is recommended to be placed in the middle or posterior of the small ST for safety. The shapes of the STs are greatly influenced by the subtalar coalition, while they are less affected by left-right, subtalar facet. The osseous connection is common in type A articular surface and always involved in the MTF and PTF. The cut-off value of the length of STs was confirmed as 16.815 mm for predicting subtalar coalition.","PeriodicalId":48794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9697344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
