第一跖楔关节融合治疗拇外翻合并第一跖楔关节不稳

目的探讨第一跖楔关节融合重建足横弓治疗拇外翻合并第一跖楔关节不稳的疗效。方法2003年1月至2005年6月，手术治疗合并第一跖楔关节过度活动、足横弓塌陷的拇外翻患者23例32足，均为女性；年龄46-72岁，平均（60．3±9．3）岁。第一跖骨头下压、外移及旋后并与失稳的第一跖楔关节融合，融合关节采用AO“T”形钢板固定。拇外翻畸形采用改良McBride软组织手术矫形。术后石膏固定6周，随后部分负重2周。结果20例患者28足获得完整随访，随访时间6-22个月，平均13．3个月。X线片显示第一跖楔关节均获得良好融合。拇外翻角从术前的平均51°±12°减小到术后的平均22°±6°；第一、二跖骨间角从术前的平均15°±5°减小到术后的平均9°±4°。患者主观评价，优15足，良9足，可4足，优良率为85．7％。患者前足底疼痛均有明显好转，4足有不同程度的第一跖趾关节疼痛，1足足中部不适，取内固定后消失。结论第一跖楔关节融合治疗拇外翻合并第一跖楔关节不稳能很好地纠正足横弓的塌陷、第一跖骨内翻畸形，对恢复第一跖骨头的负重功能有较好的治疗效果。采用钢板内固定能有效提高融合部位的稳定，利于前足的早期负重。     

Scarf osteotomy for hallux valgus deformity: Radiological outcome,metatarsal length and early complications in 118 feet

BackgroundScarf osteotomy has been widely used to restore axial orientation of the first ray in the treatment of hallux valgus deformity. The aim of the study was to present our radiological outcomes of bunion reconstruction, identify surgical complications in early follow-up, and assess to what extent a shortening of the first metatarsal is present after surgery as a possible cause of postoperative metatarsalgia.MethodsWe enrolled 106 patients (118 feet) and assessed patients’ pre- and postoperative measurements of hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles on weightbearing X-ray images. Three different methods of measuring metatarsal length were compared and early postoperative complications noted.ResultsHallux valgus angle decreased significantly by an average of 18.7 degrees and the intermetatarsal angle by 7.8 degrees. Using three methods of measuring metatarsal length, all showed significant shortening of the first metatarsal. Mean relative lengthening of the second metatarsal averaged 0.45 mm. The Coughlin method showed the highest interrater reliability (ICC = 0.96).ConclusionsSignificant reduction of the hallux valgus angle and intermetatarsal angle was demonstrated with a low complication rate. There was significant shortening of the first metatarsal. The Coughlin method clearly demonstrated an excellent interrater reliability.Level of evidenceLevel IV.     

Simultaneous bilateral hallux valgus surgery: Percutaneous or conventional? Early results of a matched study from a tertiary institution

BackgroundHallux valgus is bilateral in up to 84 % of cases. In the setting of simultaneous bilateral correction, we aim to evaluate if minimally invasive percutaneous surgery (MIS) provides any advantage compared to conventional open surgery.Methods52 feet (26 patients) undergoing simultaneous bilateral MIS surgery were matched by severity of deformity to 52 feet (26 patients) undergoing simultaneous conventional open surgery. Patients were followed for a minimum of six months. Pre- and post-operative radiographs and clinical records were reviewed.ResultsThere were no significant differences in pre-operative function or pain between both groups. Post-operatively, the mean hallux valgus angle (HVA) was significantly lower in the MIS group. (HVA MIS – 8.6; Open – 11.8, P = 0.013). There were no significant differences in post-operative outcome and patient satisfaction between both groups.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that simultaneous bilateral MIS hallux valgus surgery can be considered for patients with bilateral symptomatic hallux valgus.     

Vascular anatomy of the first metatarsal bone and surgical implications according to the severity of hallux valgus deformity: A cadaveric study

BackgroundVascular injury after hallux valgus surgery is a rare condition but serious complications can ensue.MethodsWe performed an anatomical study using 26 cadaveric lower extremities. We enhanced first metatarsal bone’s (FMB) vascularization by injecting latex. Each specimen was classified according to the severity of hallux valgus deformity (HVD). Then we measured two distances: one between the first tarsometatarsal joint (FTMJ) to the first dorsal branch’s origin, the other between the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) to the dorsal plexus’s origin.ResultsThe distance between the FTMJ and the first dorsal branch to the FMB ranges from 10 mm in normal feet to 15 mm in severe deformed feet. The distance between the MTP and the dorsal plexus’ origin ranges from 20 mm in normal feet to 25 mm in severe deformed feet.ConclusionsUnderstanding the foot’s vascular anatomy has allowed us to adapt surgical landmarks to the severity of the HVD and to avoid post-operative complications.     

New syndrome: Mother and son with hypertelorism,downslanting palpebral fissures,malar hypoplasia,and apparently low-set ears associated with joint and scrotal anomalies

We report on a mother and son with a similar syndrome of hypertelorism and telecanthus, epicanthal folds, downslanting palpebral fissures, ptosis, broad nasal bridge, malar hypoplasia, thin upper lip, smooth philtrum, and apparently low-set prominent ears. The son also has a hypoplastic shawl scrotum, cryptorchidism, and genu valgum. His language development was delayed at 18 months, but subsequently improved and was normal at age 3. The mother has the additional findings of marked cubitus valgus, hyperextensible joints, dull normal intelligence and a bleeding diathesis. This pattern of multiple congenital anomalies may represent a new syndrome.     

Chevron截骨术对外翻足关节接触特征影响的生物力学研究

目的 探究Chevron截骨术截骨远端外侧位移距离对外翻足关节接触特征的影响,为临床上选择合适的位移距离提供参考依据。方法 测量踝关节中立位状态下正常足、外翻足及外翻足Chevron截骨术截骨远端分别向外侧位移2.0、4.0、6.0 mm后前足、中足和后足各关节接触力、峰值压强和接触面积,并对结果进行分析。结果 与正常足相比,外翻足第1跖楔关节（t=-3.33, P=0.02）、跟骰关节（t=-2.74, P=0.03）和距下关节（后关节面）（t=-2.89, P=0.03）的接触力显著增高;外翻足距舟关节（t=-2.73, P=0.03）与跟骰关节（t=-2.74, P=0.03）的峰值压强显著增高;行Chevron截骨术后,随着截骨远端向外侧位移距离的增加,外翻足第1跖楔关节和跟骰关节的接触力逐渐减小;外翻足距舟关节和跟骰关节的峰值压强逐渐减小。结论 中度外翻足行Chevron截骨术后,当第1跖骨截骨远端向外侧位移6 mm时能有效恢复部分关节间力的分布,且能缓解部分关节局部应力集中现象。     

CR假体与PS假体全膝关节置换治疗膝骨性关节炎合并膝外翻畸形的疗效分析

目的 比较后交叉韧带保留型（CR）假体与后方稳定型（PS）假体行人工全膝关节置换术（TKA）治疗膝骨性关节炎合并膝外翻畸形的临床疗效。方法 回顾性分析南昌大学附属赣州医院关节外科2019年5月至2021年5月收治的60例（60膝）膝骨性关节炎合并膝外翻畸形患者资料,均为单侧置换。30例采用CR假体行TKA治疗（CR组）,30例采用PS假体行TKA治疗（PS组）。比较两组患者的手术时间、术中失血量、术后引流量、术后3 d血红蛋白（Hb）下降量及深静脉血栓发生情况;比较两组患者手术前后膝外翻角;比较两组患者术后1周、1个月、3个月、6个月、1年疼痛视觉模拟评分（VAS）、膝关节活动度（ROM）、美国特种外科医院膝关节评分（HSS）。结果 60例患者均顺利完成TKA手术,所有患者随访13 ～ 28个月,平均（18.51±0.90）个月。CR组术中出血量、术后引流量、术后3 d的Hb下降量较PS组减少（P＜0.05）;两组手术时间相当、术后均无深静脉血栓发生,差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）;两组手术前后膝外翻角的比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）;CR组术后1周、1个月VAS评分较PS组更低（P＜0.05）,两组术后3个月、6月、1年VAS评分比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）;CR组术后1周、1个月、3个月膝关节ROM和HSS评分优于PS组（P＜0.05）,两组术后6个月、1年膝关节ROM和HSS评分比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论 采用CR或PS假体行TKA手术治疗膝骨性关节炎合并膝外翻畸形均可有效纠正膝关节畸形、减轻膝关节疼痛、改善膝关节活动度及功能,取得满意临床疗效;但相对PS假体,CR假体保留了后交叉韧带,减少了股骨髁部截骨量,从而减少手术出血,更好减轻早期术后疼痛,有助于TKA术后早期功能康复。     

Compartment syndrome as a complication of positioning for revision hip arthroplasty--a case report

The purpose of this report is to consider involvement of the great toe by rheumatoid arthritis, defining significant deformities, describing clinical patterns and discussing the pathomechanics of these findings, in what is an ongoing disease. 200 consecutive patients admitted to hospital with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis were screened for pain or deformity of the great toe. Feet that had undergone previous surgery or had other underlying pathology were excluded from the series. 194 feet were found to have halluceal involvement. Although hallux valgus was the commonest deformity it was found in combination with other significant deformities in many cases. Hallux rigidus was an important lesion in this series as was interphalangeal hyperextension. Other important lesions encountered were metatarsus primus varus and medial rotation of the toe; their relationship to hallux valgus is discussed.
