AI Article Synopsis

  • Advanced hallux rigidus treatment in older, sedentary patients with poor bone quality poses challenges for orthopedic surgeons, making traditional methods like osteotomy and fusion problematic.
  • The Keller resection arthroplasty has had mixed results, indicating a need for better alternatives.
  • Crescentic oblique basilar resection arthroplasty emerges as a promising option, suitable for both older patients and more active individuals who want to preserve some motion in the first MTP joint while avoiding fusion.

Article Abstract

The treatment of advanced hallux rigidus in an older, more sedentary population with poor bone stock or comorbidities that may make corrective osteotomy, fusion, and implant fixation more problematic has frequently been an issue for orthopedic surgeons. The traditional Keller resection arthroplasty has not fared well because of various problems. Crescentic oblique basilar resection arthroplasty is a viable surgical treatment alternative for older, more sedentary patients who have advanced hallux rigidus with or without hallux valgus. This may also be a good alternative procedure in a more active patient who wishes to avoid fusion of the joint while maintaining some first MTP motion.

Cheilectomy is a joint-sparing surgery for the treatment of moderate stages of Hallux Rigidus (HR). The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the clinical outcomes, range of motion (ROM), complications, and revision rates associated with cheilectomy. A literature search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was performed.

Background: To investigate the impact of decompressive chevron osteotomy on subchondral bone density at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.

Methods: Sixteen feet (12 patients) with hallux rigidus underwent decompressive chevron osteotomy. Standing cone beam 3D computed tomography (3DCT) were assessed preoperatively and at 4-month follow-up, and clinical data were collected.

Background Severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is usually treated by arthrodesis, which results in a loss of mobility in the joint. Cartiva (Stryker Corporation, Kalamazoo, USA) is a synthetic cartilage implant (SCI) designed to repair osteochondral defects in the treatment of the first MTP OA. Treatment using the Cartiva SCI should relieve symptoms of OA whilst sparing motion in the first MTPJ and may provide a superior alternative to arthrodesis.
