AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: The bibliometric studies in the field of orthopaedics have gained popularity since they can determine the characteristics and research trends of most influential papers in specific subjects. This study aimed to evaluate the 50 most-cited articles related to hallux rigidus, and analyze possible factors associated with increased citation counts.
Methods: The available literature about hallux rigidus on Web of Science database until January 2021 were analyzed and the 50 most-cited articles were determined. The characteristics of the papers were documented and analyzed for any relationship or correlation with total citation or citation per year (citation density) values.
Results: The average citation number and citation density were 52.8 (range: 26-243) and 3 (range: 0.8-12.8), respectively. The average author number was 3.4, while the average institution number was 1.9. The USA had the highest number of articles with 29. Twenty-six papers were case-series, only 3 studies had level 1 and only 2 had level 2 evidence. The highest number of articles were published in Foot and Ankle International with 22 papers. Forty papers were clinical studies while 10 were reviews. Five studies were multicentric.
Conclusion: This study provided the general characteristic and research trends of 50 most influential hallux rigidus papers. The number of institutions and references were positively correlated with citation density, indicating a higher chance of getting cited for papers with collaborations from different institutions and papers using more references from other works. Publication year was also positively correlated with citation density, indicating the better performance of more recent articles.
Level Of Clinical Evidence: Level 3.

Background: Minimally invasive cheilectomy is becoming a more prominent surgical approach in the management of mild to moderate hallux rigidus. This systematic review aims to analyze and present the current literature on patient-reported outcomes following minimally invasive (MIS) cheilectomy for mild to moderate hallux rigidus.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus databases were searched in April 2024.

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.

Foot Ankle Int

Service de Chirurgie Orthopédique, Clinique Trenel, Sainte-Colombe, France.
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.
Two-Year Clinical Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Synthetic Cartilage Arthroplasty for First Metatarsophalangeal Osteoarthritis.

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.

Foot Ankle Orthop
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: One factor contributing to rotational deformity of the first metatarsal in hallux valgus is torsion of the metatarsal itself. Hallux rigidus also involves reduction of the longitudinal arch, but metatarsal torsion has not been discussed. We hypothesized that metatarsal torsion may be a morphologic change unique to hallux valgus.
