Background

Subtalar arthrodesis through an open approach carries significant risk of complications. An arthroscopic approach aims to minimise damage to the soft tissue envelope to improve recovery, union and complication rates. A two portal approach through the sinus tarsi was used.

Methods

A retrospective review of all patients undergoing isolated arthroscopic arthrodesis was performed.

Results

Seventy-seven procedures were performed. Successful arthrodesis was achieved in 75 (97.4%). Two patients underwent successful revision arthrodesis for aseptic nonunion. There was one (1.3%) superficial infection and one (1.3%) partial sural nerve injury.

Conclusions

Two-portal sinus tarsi arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is safe and effective. Advantages over other arthroscopic approaches are the access to all three facets of the joint, avoidance of a posterolateral portal in order to minimise risk to the sural nerve, and the ability to use the same approach to arthrodese the entire triple hindfoot joint complex. Technical tips and pitfalls are discussed.  相似文献

Background

First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ1) hemiarthroplasty using a novel synthetic cartilage implant was as effective and safe as MTPJ1 arthrodesis in a randomized clinical trial. We retrospectively evaluated operative time and recovery period for implant hemiarthroplasty (n = 152) and MTPJ1 arthrodesis (n = 50).

Methods

Perioperative data were assessed for operative and anaesthesia times. Recovery and return to function were prospectively assessed with the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Sports and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) subscales and SF-36 Physical Functioning (PF) subscore.

Results

Mean operative time for hemiarthroplasty was 35 ± 12.3 min and 58 ± 21.5 min for arthrodesis (p < 0.001). Anaesthesia duration was 28 min shorter with hemiarthroplasty (p < 0.001). At weeks 2 and 6 postoperative, hemiarthroplasty patients demonstrated clinically and statistically significantly higher FAAM Sport, FAAM ADL, and SF-36 PF subscores versus arthrodesis patients.

Conclusion

MTPJ1 hemiarthroplasty with a synthetic cartilage implant took less operative time and resulted in faster recovery than arthrodesis.

Introduction

Grisel's syndrome consists in rotational subluxation of C1–C2 following ENT infection or surgery. There is no consensus on management. We present 2 cases requiring surgical treatment in our center.

Case reports

Two 10-year-old patients presented torticollis with cervical pain resistant to medical treatment, with onset a few months after tonsillectomy. In both cases, radiological assessment, comprising CT scan and MRI, showed Fielding–Hawkins type-3 C1–C2 rotational subluxation, without ligament lesion. After failure of conservative treatment, posterior reaming, realignment, C1–C2 arthrodesis using lateral masses and pars interarticularis screws and bone graft achieved good fusion and immediate spinal stability in all planes of the atlantoaxial complex.

Discussion

Grisel's syndrome consists in non-traumatic subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint with intact atlantoaxial ligaments. Initial pharyngeal inflammation spreads to the prevertebral fascia via direct connections between the periodontoidal venous plexus and pharyngovertebral veins, inducing fasciitis that leads to abnormal relaxation of the atlantoaxial ligaments and reactional muscle contraction with ankylosis. This phenomenon, appearing gradually and insidiously over a period of a few weeks, creates a frozen joint with ankylosis. Medical treatment with NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, and immobilization is usually sufficient; cervical traction may be needed. Surgical treatment by C1–C2 arthrodesis is indicated in case of failure of medical management or onset of neurologic signs.

Conclusion

Close collaboration between pediatricians, ENT surgeons and neurosurgeons is essential for early diagnosis and management, which is the main prognostic factor for successful medical treatment, avoiding surgery.  相似文献

Background

A number of studies report on limitations of the screw arthrodesis in severe malalignment of the hindfoot, neuropathic deformity, poor bone quality and osteoporosis.

Methods

Fourteen anatomically correct polyurethane foam models of the right leg (Sawbones Europe, Malmö, Sweden) and eighteen fresh-frozen human lower leg specimens (9 pairs) were used for the comparative biomechanical testing.

Results

The statistical analysis of the stiffness of the fixation developed a significant difference in favor of the plate in all test directions.

Conclusions

The excellent biomechanical results are very promising and we hope for a reduction of the pseudarthrosis rate and shorten the postoperative treatment phase.  相似文献

Background

There is an evident lack of research on timing of polydactyly surgery and its effects on treatment results.

Methods

Retrospective comparative study on foot polydactyly patients treated at our department from 1995 to 2009. Patients were divided into 2 groups, group A – under the age of 5 at surgery, and group B – 5 years and older.

Results

There were 24 patients (8 male, 16 female), 30 feet. Median age at surgery was 1 year (range, 9 months–4.5 years) for group A, and 8.5 years (range, 6–37 years) for group B. Median follow-up was 16.2 years (range, 7–21 years). There were 16 postaxial and 8 preaxial cases. At the last follow-up 12 patients’ feet were “excellent” and 12 “good”. No significant differences were identified between the two groups at final follow-up.

Conclusions

Timing of surgery for foot polydactyly is not crucial for final results.  相似文献

Objective

First MTP joint fusion is a reliable procedure for advanced arthritis for the first MTP joint. There are many techniques described. The purpose of our study is to report clinical, radiological, functional outcomes and complications of first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion with hand preparation of the joint and fixation with two orthogonal locking plates without a compression screw.

Methods

32 feet in 26 consecutive patients under went first metatarsophalangeal joint fusion with above technique. There were 23 women and 3 men. Mean age was 64 years and mean follow-up was 49 months. 21 patients had osteoarthritis, 10 had rheumatoid arthritis and one had psoriatic arthritis. Clinical, radiological, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score and Foot and Ankle Disability Index clinical rating scales were used for evaluation.

Results

Fusion was achieved in 27 feet. The incidence of radiological non-union was 15.7%. Mean AOFAS score improved from 37.1 to 80.7 (p < 0.0001) and mean FADI score improved from 40.3 to 86.9 postoperatively (p < 0.0001). Two patients with osteoarthritis and three with Rheumatoid arthritis did not unite. Four of these patients were managing hence revision surgery was not carried out but had low AOFAS and FADI scores. One patient with symptomatic non-union declined further surgery. One patient needed plate removal for a low grade infection and reoperation rate was 3.1%.

Conclusions

In our experience, first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis using two orthogonal two hole plates without a compression screw is associated with a higher non-union rate in our cohort hence we do not recommend this technique.

Background

Previous qualitative studies have linked first metatarsal head morphology with hallux valgus (HV) and hallux rigidus (HR). This study used a quantitative measurement of 1st MT radius of curvature to assess if HR MT heads were flatter than HV heads.

Methods

Weight bearing foot films were used in HV, HR, and normal patients (no forefoot complaints) to measure the metatarsal head radius of curvature (normalized by dividing the radius of curvature by the first metatarsal length to adjust for magnification and foot size).

Results

Radiographs from 299 feet were analyzed (105 normal, 57 HR, and 137 HV). The mean normalized radius of curvature was smaller in HV than HR, with normal feet in between (p < .05 for all comparisons). Metatarsal head curvature did not vary with age, weight, or BMI.

Conclusion

These quantitative measurements are consistent with qualitative observations, validating the use of subjective metatarsal head morphology assessments.  相似文献

Objective

This study aimed to present a treatment algorithm for the correction of the hallux valgus deformity in Cerebral Palsy (CP) patients and to discuss the outcomes based on our clinical and radiological results.

Methods

29 patients (45 feet) were included in the study. The mean age of the patients at the time of the surgery was 14 (range 6–22) years. The mean follow-up was 33 (range 22–59) months. A reconstructive procedure was performed on 19 patients (27 feet); a soft tissue surgery and exostectomy of the bunion in six patients (11 feet); and MTP joint arthrodesis in four patients (7 feet). The hallux valgus angle (HVA) and the anteroposterior intermetatarsal angle (IMA) were used for radiologic evaluation and the DuPont Bunion Rating Score was used for clinical evaluation.

Results

The follow-up period was 36 (range 22–59) months in reconstructive group, 27 (range 24–29) months in soft tissue group, and 29 (range 23–41) months in MTP arthrodesis group. Significant improvements were detected in hallux valgus angle in three groups postoperatively but in soft tissue group correction loss was observed during follow up. Best results were achieved in arthrodesis group and worse in soft tissue group in terms of clinical evaluation.

Conclusion

According to our results isolated soft tissue procedures are ineffective in CP patients. Soft tissue procedure combined with metatarsal osteotomy has satisfactory results.

Background

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of hallux valgus surgery using a plantar locking plate.

Methods

Proximal oblique metatarsal osteotomy combined with distal soft tissue treatment was performed in 59 adult patients (68 feet) with hallux valgus, using an anatomically pre-contoured plantar locking plate for fixation of the osteotomy. The median age was 64.0 years and the median follow-up period was 16.5 months.

Results

The mean JSSF scale improved significantly from 56.0 points preoperatively to 95.8 points postoperatively. The mean intermetatarsal angle and hallux valgus angle decreased from 16.4° and 41.8° preoperatively to 4.2° and 10.8° postoperatively, respectively. The mean inclination angle was 19.9° preoperatively and 20.5° postoperatively. Removal of hardware was needed in 2 feet (2.9%).

Conclusions

Proximal oblique metatarsal osteotomy is an effective method for relief of pain and improvement of function in correction of hallux valgus deformity. Use of a plantar locking plate provides sufficient maintenance of the correction, and complications associated with the hardware are rare.  相似文献

Background

Maasai tribe members walk long distances daily either barefoot or wearing traditional shoes made from recycled car tires, without any foot ailments. To figure out the characteristic of their feet, we designed a radiographic comparative study of middle-aged partially shod Maasai women’s feet and regularly shod Maasai and Korean women’s feet.

Methods

Weight bearing radiographs of bilateral foot and ankle joints from 20 healthy middle-aged bush-living partially shod (PS) Maasai women were obtained. Same number of radiographs from 20 urban-living regularly shod (RS) Maasai and 20 Korean women were obtained and compared. The hallux valgus angle, the first to second intermetatarsal angle, talonavicular coverage angle, talo-first metatarsal angle, Meary angle, naviculo-cuboidal overlap, and the medial cuneiform height were measured to establish the degree of pes plano-valgus and hallux valgus deformity.

Results

On comparing PS and RS Maasai groups radiographically, the talonavicular coverage angle, talo-first metatarsal angle, and naviculo-cuboidal overlap were significantly greater in the PS Maasai group, whereas hallux valgus angle, the first and second intermetatarsal angle, Meary angle, and the medial cuneiform height were greater in the RS Maasai and Korean group.

Conclusions

Regularly wearing shoes would protect the feet from pes plano-valgus deformity, despite potentially contributing to hallux valgus deformity.  相似文献

Background

This study reports the outcome of a plating system for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTPJ) that incorporates a lag compression screw within a low profile titanium plate with a predetermined contour. This is the first report of the outcomes of this implant from a non-affiliated centre.

Patient and methods

This is a prospective cohort study of 40 consecutive primary 1st MTPJ arthrodesis procedures. The mean age of the cohort was 56 years (range, 20–74 years). The diagnosis was hallux rigidus in 31 patients and inflammatory arthropathy in 7 patients.

Results

All patients achieved clinical union at 6 weeks and radiological union was confirmed on plain radiographs between 6–16 weeks. One case of hardware removal was reported.

Conclusion

The cohort achieved consistently satisfactory results with a reliable and reproducible MTPJ position and a 100% union rate. There was a low rate of hardware removal.

Background

The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results obtained in the treatment of adult flexible flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial dysfunction with subtalar arthroereisis using a Kalix ® endorthesis.

Methods

35 patients (37 feet) were studied, having been operated between January 2010 and January 2015 for reducible flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction stage IIA1 of Bluman.

Results

The average follow up was 47.52 months with a minimum of 14 months and a maximum of 75 months. The average age was 54.85, with an age range from 40 to 80 years old. In 74% of cases excellent or good results were obtained, according to our evaluation. The most common complication of this procedure was persistent pain in the sinus tarsi. 35% of cases in this group required implant removal for this reason.

Conclusions

We believe that arthroereisis is valid for the treatment of flat foot secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction at this stage, giving a high percentage of good and excellent results.  相似文献

Background

Osteotomy for hallux valgus interrupts intraosseous blood supply to the first metatarsal, presumably causing non-union, delayed union, or osteonecrosis of the head of the first metatarsal. We investigated the first metatarsal nutrient artery, arising from the first dorsal metatarsal artery, and identified aspects of surgical technique contributing to nutrient artery injury.

Methods

Enhanced computed tomography scans of 8 feet of 8 fresh cadavers were assessed. Barium was injected through the external iliac artery; location and direction of the first metatarsal nutrient artery was recorded.

Results

Mostly, the nutrient artery entered the first metatarsal at the distal third or junction of the middle and distal thirds obliquely from a proximal direction coronally; entry point and direction varied axially. Saw blade overpenetration alone or with extensive capsular stripping might damage the artery.

Conclusions

Location and direction of the first metatarsal nutrient artery was established.  相似文献

Background

Several anatomical studies have shown that the articular facets of the calcaneus can present with different anatomy. This study assessed the 3D anatomy of lateral calcaneal lengthening (LCL) osteotomy in relation to the anterior and middle facet of the calcaneus in a group of skeletally immature patients treated for symptomatic flatfoot deformity.

Methods

During the study period, 14 consecutive patients (10 males, 4 females) presenting symptomatic flatfoot (20 feet) with different aetiologies underwent LCL osteotomy and CT scan with 3D reconstruction of the operated feet. Anatomy of articular factes of the calcaneus were graded according to Bunning & Barnett’s classification. In order to assess clinical and functional outcome, all patients were evaluated according to Yoo et al.’s, Mosca’s and AOFAS clinical criteria before surgery and at last follow-up visit.

Results

Despite proving difficult to assess (10 out of 20 feet), dimensions of bone and joint structures revealed significant anatomical variations. In particular, working to Bunning & Barnett’s classification, anatomy of the articular facet varied significantly among patients, and in Bunning & Barnett type-B1 or B2 the LCL osteotomy necessarily violates the articular surface of the anterior and middle facet of the calcaneus due to the fact that the two facets are fused together (single articular surface).

Conclusions

These biometric notions allow a better understanding of the impact on articular facets of the calcaneus of the osteotomy procedure suggested by Evans and Mosca. We anticipate that the findings reported here should lead to improved techniques for assessing all bone structures of the hindfoot, support logical classifications of the different pathological situations, and ultimately lead to improved treatment strategies.  相似文献

Background

The operative management of failed first metatarso-phalangeal joint (MTPJ) surgery is often complicated by bone loss and shortening of the hallux. Restoration of first ray length and alignment often cannot be achieved with in situ fusion and reconstruction techniques with bone graft are therefore required. We present a novel technique of longitudinal (proximo-distal) bone dowel arthrodesis for first MTPJ arthrodesis with bone loss.

Methods

Between August 2007 and February 2015, eight patients have been treated by the senior author with this technique. The mean age at surgery was 60.5 years (range 45–80) with seven females and one male. Index surgery was MTPJ arthrodesis (three patients), Keller excision arthroplasty (two patients), MTPJ hemiarthroplasty (two patients) and silastic arthroplasty (one patient). Clinical and radiological fusion was assessed and other radiological measurements included hallux valgus angle (HVA) and length of the hallux (LOH).

Results

All patients achieved fusion at a mean of 9.3 weeks (range 6–12) from surgery and only one patient required removal of metalwork. There were no major complications. The HVA improved in all cases from 21.4 ± 2.8 pre-operatively to 11.6 ± 3.5 post-operatively (p > 0.05). The LOH also increased in all cases from 82.1 ± 8.3 mm to 86.7 ± 8.2 mm (p > 0.05). The subgroup of patients who were revised from an arthroplasty, where maintenance of length rather than increase in length was desirable (hemiarthroplasty, silastic) had significantly lower increase in LOH than those revised from a non-arthroplasty index surgery (arthrodesis, Keller) (p = 0.029).

Conclusion

The dowel technique is successful for first MTPJ arthrodesis revision surgery with optimal union rates and satisfactory radiographic and clinical outcomes. It is an effective and versatile option for managing bone loss and deformity of the hallux.  相似文献

Background

There are little data regarding the morbidity of lymph node dissection (LND) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to assess its risk–benefit ratio.

Objective

To evaluate the association of LND with 30-d complications among patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) for RCC.

Design, setting, and participants

A total of 2066 patients underwent RN for M0 or M1 RCC between 1990 and 2010, of whom 774 (37%) underwent LND.

Intervention

RN with or without LND.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Associations of LND with 30-d complications were examined using logistic regression with several propensity score techniques. Extended LND, defined as removal of ≥13 lymph nodes, was examined in a sensitivity analysis.

Results and limitations

A total of 184 (9%) patients were pN1 and 302 (15%) were M1. Thirty-day complications occurred in 194 (9%) patients, including Clavien grade ≥3 complications in 81 (4%) patients. Clinicopathologic features were well balanced after propensity score adjustment. In the overall cohort, LND was not statistically significantly associated with Clavien grade ≥3 complications, although there was an approximately 40% increased risk of any Clavien grade complication that did not reach statistical significance. Likewise, LND was not significantly associated with any Clavien grade or Clavien grade ≥3 complications when separately evaluated among M0 or M1 patients. Extended LND was not significantly associated with any Clavien grade or Clavien grade ≥3 complications. LND was not associated with length of stay or estimated blood loss. Limitations include a retrospective design.

Conclusions

LND is not significantly associated with an increased risk of Clavien grade ≥3 complications, although it may be associated with a modestly increased risk of minor complications. In the absence of increased morbidity, LND may be justified in a predominantly staging role in the management of RCC.

Patient summary

Lymph node dissection for renal cell carcinoma is not associated with increased rates of major complications.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study is to describe a simple and reproducible method to localize the neurological structures at risk and to describe a safe zone for hallux minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures.

Methods

Ten fresh-frozen cadaveric feet were dissected to identify the dorsomedial digital nerve (DMDN) and the dorsolateral digital nerve (DLDN) of the first toe. Axial sections were performed at the sites of metatarsal osteotomies. We documented the position of the nerves with respect to the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon using a clock method superimposed on the axial section

Results

The DMDN was found at an average of 26.2° medial to the medial border of the EHL tendon. (SD 11.26, range 14.5–45.5), whereas the average distance of the DLDN was 32.3° lateral to the medial border of the EHL tendon. (SD 6.29, range 13.5–40).

Conclusions

Using the clock method the DMDN and DLDN were found consistently between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock in either right and left feet. The clock method may facilitate avoiding the area where these nerves are located serving as a valuable tool in minimally invasive foot surgery.  相似文献

Background

Dislocated metatarsophalangeal joints from clawed or hammer toes can be a disabling consequence of several conditions. The Cobb–Stainsby forefoot arthroplasty combines partial phalangectomy (Stainsby) with extensor tendon transfer to the metatarsal head (Cobb). We present a retrospective, three surgeon case series of 215 toes in 126 patients.

Methods

Early results and complications were gathered from the medical charts of 126 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Seventy-five patients were contactable by phone with a follow up range of 12–82 months (median follow up 45 months). Primary outcome measures were improvement of pain and function, reduction in plantar callosities and cosmetic improvement of the deformity.

Results

Pre-operatively all patients presented with pain and shoe wear problems. Post-operatively seventy-two patients (96%) were satisfied, 72 (96%) reported pain relief, 55 (73%) were happy with toe control, 61 (81%) were pleased with cosmesis and 56 (75%) reported unlimited daily activities. Superficial wound infections were observed in 13 of the 126 patients (10%) and two in 75 patients (2%) developed recurrent clawing.

Conclusion

Our case series demonstrates improved outcomes over alternatives such as the Weil’s osteotomy.  相似文献

Background

Soft tissue release for hallux valgus correction is traditionally performed through a dorsal first web space incision. We performed a single surgeon series review of hallux valgus correction with Scarf ± Akin osteotomy and lateral release using a single medial incision.

Methods

192 feet were included. Patient satisfaction survey was conducted at the time of study. Pre-operative and final post-operative radiographic data obtained.

Results

All radiological parameters had statistically significant improvement [p < 0.05 for each variable]. Response rate was 71% (completely satisfied 69%, satisfied with minor reservation 14%, satisfied with major reservation 11%, dissatisfied 6%). There was no correlation of any preoperative or postoperative radiographic measure with satisfaction grade. No patient required revision procedure.

Conclusions

Single medial incision surgery for hallux valgus correction is a simple, safe and effective technique with very high satisfaction. The results are comparable to traditional two-incision surgery.  相似文献

Background

Corrective fusion for the unstable deformed hind foot and mid foot in Charcot Neuroarthropathy (CN) is quite challenging and is best done in tertiary centres under the supervision of multidisciplinary teams.

Methods

We present a follow up to our initial report with a series of 42 hind foot corrections in 40 patients from a tertiary level teaching hospital in the United Kingdom. The mean patient age was 59 (33-82). 17 patients had type1diabetes mellitus, 23 had type 2. 23 feet in 22 patients had chronic ulceration despite offloading. 17 patients were ASA 2 and 23 were ASA grade 3. All patients had hind foot nail fusion performed through a standard technique by the senior author and managed perioperatively by the multidisciplinary team.

Results

At a mean follow up of 42 months (12-99) we achieved 100% limb salvage initially and a 97% fusion rate. One patient with persisting non-union of ankle and subtalar joint with difficulty in bracing has been offered below-knee amputation. We achieved deformity correction in 100% and ulcer healing in 83%. 83% patients are able to mobilize and manage independent activities of daily living. There were 11 patients with one or more complications including metal work failure, infection and ulcer reactivation. There have been nine repeat procedures including one revision fixation and one vascular procedure.

Conclusion

Single stage corrective fusion for hind foot deformity in CN is an effective procedure when delivered by a skilled multidisciplinary team.  相似文献
