Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes after first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthrodesis for hallux rigidus between patients who underwent primary arthrodesis and those who had had a prior surgery for hallux valgus.
Methods: Our design was a retrospective cohort study comparing 29 patients who underwent primary arthrodesis (primary group) and 34 patients with hallux rigidus after hallux valgus surgery (secondary group). The clinical assessment included the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Radiological evaluation was also performed. Overall, the mean postoperative follow-up was 3.4 (range, 2-5) years.
Results: At final follow-up, AOFAS and VAS pain scores significantly improved in both groups ( = .001). However, the mean AOFAS ( = .001) and VAS pain ( = .008) scores were significantly better in the primary group than in the secondary group. Radiologically, there were no significant differences between the groups in any angle after arthrodesis. Revision surgeries were not required in the primary group. In the secondary group, there was 1 revision due to deep infection, and 3 other patients required dorsal plate removal. Excluding plate removal, the Kaplan-Meier survival at 3 years was not significantly different between groups ( = .775).
Conclusion: Although arthrodesis of the first MTP joint was an effective procedure for hallux rigidus, the clinical outcomes in patients who had prior hallux valgus surgery were worse than those for patients who underwent primary surgery for hallux rigidus.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Opioids are often part of the post-operative pain regimen after orthopaedic surgery. Novel multimodal post-operative pain control regimens have been developed to decrease the amount of opioid usage due to their negative side effects including nausea, constipation, and addiction. The purpose of this study was to compare the cost of postoperative pain management treatment methods after orthopaedic surgery between opioid/acetaminophen therapy and an opioid-free, multidrug, multimodal pathway.

Background/aim: Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common deformity of the forefoot. Although HV has been strongly associated with a family history, its genetic underpinnings remain unclear. Few studies have examined the relationship between folic acid metabolism, which is critical in normal bone development, and HV.

Hallux valgus (HV) presents as a common forefoot deformity that causes problems with pain, mobility, footwear, and quality of life. The most common open correction used in the UK is the Scarf and Akin osteotomy, which has good clinical and radiological outcomes and high levels of patient satisfaction when used to treat a varying degrees of deformity. However, there are concerns regarding recurrence rates and long-term outcomes.

Background: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of hallux valgus interphalangeus (HVI) in juvenile-onset hallux valgus and adult-onset hallux valgus and to analyze the correlation between the hallux interphalangeal angle (HIA) and other radiographic parameters in juvenile-onset hallux valgus.
Methods: This retrospective study included 640 feet and 320 patients with hallux valgus (160 juvenile-onset and 160 adult-onset cases). Eight radiographic parameters were measured: HIA, hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, talonavicular coverage angle, anteroposterior talocalcaneal angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, lateral talo-first metatarsal angle, and calcaneal pitch.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a condition characterized by the lateral deviation of the first phalanx and medial deviation of the first metatarsal, leading to subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Various orthotic applications are employed in the treatment of HV deformity. This study aimed to compare the effects of a toe separator (TS) and dynamic orthosis (DO) on hallux valgus angle (HVA), plantar pressure (PP), and quality of life (QoL).
