[Functional outcome of 111 metatarsal fractures following conservative in comparison to operative treatment].
Background: Fractures of the metatarsal bones are common injuries of the foot and particularly occur in patients aged 40-50 years. Especially multiple metatarsal fractures can lead to permanent limitations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the functional outcome of metatarsal fractures after conservative and surgical treatment using a validated self-reported patient-based outcome questionnaire.
Material and methods: All patients suffering from metatarsal fractures between 2003 and 2015 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The following data were collected: demographic data, AO classification, treatment, reoperation rate and the foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS). For outcome analysis, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U‑test and Fisher's exact test were performed.
Results: In total the functional outcome of 111 patients with metatarsal fractures were analyzed, 81 patients suffered of an isolated metatarsal fracture and 30 of multiple fractures. The mean age of the patients was 45 ± 15.2 years with a total of 48 men (43%) and 63 women (57%). Patients with an isolated metatarsal fracture had an FAOS of 88 ± 17.1, while patients with multiple metatarsal fractures achieved an FAOS of 78 ± 17.7 (p = 0.046). In the group of isolated metatarsal fractures 43 patients (53%) were surgically treated and of these 36 patients showed a type C fracture (84%). In the group of multiple metatarsal fractures 16 patients (53%) underwent operative treatment.
Conclusion: Overall, the functional outcome of isolated metatarsal fractures following operative as well as conservative treatment is good to very good. Simple fractures can be successfully treated conservatively and complex multifragment fractures can be safely managed surgically. If more than one metatarsal bone is fractured, the functional outcome is significantly worse with patients reporting lasting limitations involving the range of motion and stiffness.
期刊介绍:
Der Unfallchirurg is an internationally recognised publication organ. The journal deals with all aspects of accident surgery and reconstruction surgery and serves the continuing medical education of surgeons and accident surgeons with own practices and those working in hospitals.
Practically-oriented works provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of accident surgery. Besides the imparting of relevant background knowledge, the focus is on the assessment of scientific findings under consideration of practical experience. The reader is given concrete recommendations for his/her practical work.
