New Insight into the Effects of Different Types of Midfoot and Hindfoot Deformities on the Functional Outcomes of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients. J Foot Ankle Surg 2024:S1067-2516(24)00148-0. [PMID: 38996960 DOI: 10.1053/j.jfas.2024.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
In advanced stages of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the pattern of joint involvement leads to varied types of foot deformities such as forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot deformities. We aim to evaluate midfoot and hindfoot deformities and their effect on functional outcomes in RA patients. In this prospective cross-sectional study clinical and radiological evaluations of 100 adult RA patients were studied for midfoot and hindfoot deformities. The RA disease activity, functional disability level, specific foot and ankle assessments, gait speed, and balance tests were assessed. Radiological examinations of the weight-bearing feet in a standing position were done. We found that the most frequent deformity type was the planovalgus foot (24%). There were statistically significant differences between the types of foot deformities and disease duration, disease activity, falls, Tinetti and Berg balance Test, and health assessment questionnaire-disability index. The multivariate regression analysis of independent correlates of falling detected that patients with equinovarus deformity were 2.5 times more liable for falling with 63.5% predictive power. According to the predictive criteria of deformity type for falling, the equinocavovarus type had accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 91%, 84.5%, 98.5%, 99%, and 84%, respectively. We found in RA patients, midfoot and hindfoot deformities cause a significant reduction of functional ability and quality of life. The early detection of foot deformities requires a good awareness of the clinical and radiographic diagnosis of different types of deformities thus reducing the possible functional disabilities via early management by combined orthotic, physiotherapy, and surgical treatments.

Abstract
This study evaluated a reverse V-shaped osteotomy for ankylosing rocker-bottom foot deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Three feet were presented in this study: rheumatoid rocker-bottom deformities with painful and/or infectious bony prominence towards the bottom of the foot, treated with a reverse V-shaped osteotomy in the mid-hindfoot. In all three cases, significant correction was achieved with restoration of the medial longitudinal arch, and improvement in clinical scores was confirmed. Reverse V-shaped osteotomy has the potential to be a useful and definitive procedure for ankylosing rocker-bottom deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
CASE Three cases of inflammatory joint diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus and ongoing juvenile idiopathic arthritis) with painful flexible progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) underwent flatfoot surgery. All cases maintained sufficient radiological correction and achieved good clinical condition at final follow-up. CONCLUSION Although the prospect for recurrence of the deformity is not clear, even in inflammatory joint diseases, flat foot surgery such as flexor digitorum longs transfer, spring ligament reconstruction, and lateral column lengthening could have a possibility to be indicated against PCFD, as long as disease activity could be well suppressed by drug therapy, subsequently subtalar and talonavicular joints could be preserved.

Changes in knee joint destruction patterns among patients with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty in recent decades. Clin Rheumatol 2023; 42:2341-2352. [PMID: 37222908 PMCID: PMC10412667 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-023-06620-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the trend of joint destruction patterns on knee radiographs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over the past 16 years. METHOD Medial joint space, lateral joint space, medial spur area, lateral spur area (L-spur), and femoro-tibial angle were obtained from 831 preoperative knee radiographs of patients with RA who underwent TKA between 2006 and 2021 using software capable of automatic measurements. Non-hierarchical clustering was performed based on these five parameters. Trends in the five individual radiographic parameters and the ratio of each cluster were investigated during the target period. Moreover, clinical data from 244 cases were compared among clusters to identify factors associated with this trend. RESULTS All parameters, except for L-spur, showed significant increasing trends from 2006 to 2021. The radiographs were clustered into groups according to the characteristic pattern of radiographic findings: cluster 1 (conventional RA type), with bicompartmental joint space narrowing (JSN), less spur formation, and valgus alignment; cluster 2 (osteoarthritis type), with medial JSN, medial osteophytes, and varus alignment; and cluster 3 (less destructive type), with mild bicompartmental JSN, less spur formation, and valgus alignment. The ratio of cluster 1 showed a significantly decreasing trend contrary to the significantly increasing trend in clusters 2 and 3. The DAS28-CRP of cluster 3 was higher than those of clusters 1 and 2. CONCLUSIONS Radiographs of TKA recipients with RA are increasingly presenting osteoarthritic features in recent decades. Key Points • Using automated measurement software, morphological parameters were measured from radiographs of 831 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had undergone TKA in the past 16 years. • Cluster analysis based on the radiographic parameters revealed that the radiographs of patients with end-stage knee arthritis requiring total knee arthroplasty were classified into three groups. • In patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have undergone total knee arthroplasty in the past 16 years, the proportion of clusters with features of osteoarthritis and difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis has increased, while the proportion of conventional rheumatoid arthritis has decreased.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that attacks multiple joints throughout the body. Ankle arthrodesis (AA) has been the gold standard surgery for end-stage ankle arthritis in patients with RA. Here, we report the case of a 67-year-old woman with RA who had displacement and loosening of total ankle arthroplasty. The ankle was converted to AA using a metal spacer and an intramedullary nail. The patient had no complications in perioperative terms of arthrodesis. However, multiple fractures were found in the metatarsal bones at the routine 3-year follow-up. Although the patient did not remember any symptoms, the clinical outcome deteriorated compared to that a year before. The hindfoot in this case report was fixed completely by an intramedullary nail, while the midfoot had already involved ankylosis because of severe joint destruction present before the surgery. As a result, the range of motion in the joints of the midfoot and hindfoot was lost, and it is probable that an excessive load was applied to the forefoot during push-off by the toes, resulting in a stress fracture. Patients with RA remain at risk of future progressive joint destruction in every joint of their body. Therefore, surgeons should choose a surgery that preserves ankle motion to decrease the rate of adjacent joint degeneration for severe ankle arthropathy in patients with RA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the Structural Index Score (SIS) - a clinical foot deformity assessment index developed for RA, and to compare its results with foot function, disability and physical performance tests. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 104 patients with foot pain were evaluated according to SIS score, subscales (Forefoot SIS and Rearfoot SIS) and items. Results were compared with the Foot Function Index (FFI), the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (using lower limbs items: LL-HAQ), and physical performance tests: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the 5-Time Sit down-to-Stand up Test (SST5). RESULTS There was a weak correlation of SIS score with FFI and LL-HAQ. Rearfoot SIS was correlated with FFI, LL-HAQ and worse performance in BBS, TUG and SST5. Regarding Rearfoot SIS items, the ankle ROM was correlated to all studied outcomes, the calcaneus varus/valgus was correlated with FFI (total, pain and disability subscales) and the planus/cavus deformity with FFI-pain, HAQ-DI and LL-HAQ. Forefoot SIS did not correlate with any outcome measures. In relation to Forefoot SIS items, hallux valgus was associated with foot function (FFI-total, pain and disability subscales), the MTPs joints subluxation was correlated with FFI-disability subscale, and the 5th MTP exostosis was associated with FFI-pain. CONCLUSION SIS score was correlated to impaired foot function (FFI) and disability (LL-HAQ). Rearfoot SIS was correlated to worse performance on FFI, LL-HAQ, BBS, TUG and SST5. SIS score index can be a useful tool to evaluate the rheumatoid foot deformities, but a better graduation of foot deformities should add sensitivity to this method.

Abstract
CASE Ankylosing midfoot inversion deformities in 3 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated by midfoot derotational osteotomy to remove the pain due to excessive loading of the fifth metatarsal base and to obtain the plantigrade position are presented. All cases achieved sufficient correction and good clinical and radiographic improvement. CONCLUSION Midfoot derotational osteotomy seems useful and has the possibility to be a definitive surgical procedure for ankylosing inversion deformity in patients with RA. Osteotomy should be performed from both medial and lateral sides, and careful retraction of soft tissues should always be kept in mind.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to clarify the clinical implication of ultrasound (US)-detected foot joint inflammation in tightly controlled patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS We evaluated bilateral foot joints (second to fifth metatarsophalangeal joints of forefoot; tarsometatarsal, cuneonavicular and midtarsal joints of midfoot) of 430 RA patients for synovitis using Power Doppler (PD) imaging by US. We made a cross-sectional and a 3-year longitudinal analysis about the associations of US-detected synovitis with clinical, laboratory and radiographic data as well as foot-specific outcomes using a self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire (SAFE-Q). RESULTS The US-detected foot synovitis was seen in 28% of patients. The US-detected synovitis was closely related to 28 joint-disease activity score (DAS28) more in the forefoot than in the midfoot, while related to joint destruction in both. Multiple regression analyses showed significant associations between midfoot PD positivity and SAFE-Q in the remission group. SAFE-Q was worsened after the 3-year interval, but PD positivity at baseline did not contribute to the changes. On the other hand, destruction of the joints with US-detected synovitis significantly progressed in 3 years than with not. CONCLUSIONS US-detected synovitis on foot joints were related to systemic inflammation, clinical symptoms, and future joint destruction with region specificity.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph181910037. [PMID: 34639346 PMCID: PMC8508320 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph181910037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Foot/ankle problems remain important issues in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Although forefoot deformity generally takes a major place in surgical treatment, concomitant mid-hindfoot deformity is also commonly seen. In this situation, it can be easy to overlook that mid-hindfoot deformity can also induce or exacerbate clinical problems behind the forefoot events. Thus, the relationship between mid-hindfoot deformity/destruction and physical activity/ADL was investigated. Radiographic findings of 101 lower limbs (59 patients) were retrospectively evaluated. Alignment parameters in the lower extremity and joint destruction grade (Larsen grade) were measured. The timed-up-and-go (TUG) test, modified health assessment questionnaire (mHAQ), pain, self-reported scores for the foot and ankle (SAFE-Q), and RA disease activity were investigated to assess clinical status. The relationships among these parameters were evaluated. Subtalar joint destruction was correlated with TUG time (r = 0.329), mHAQ score (r = 0.338), and SAFE-Q: social functioning (r = 0.332). TUG time was correlated with the HKA (r = −0.527), talo-1st metatarsal angle (r = 0.64), calcaneal pitch angle (r = −0.433), M1-M5A (r = −0.345), and M2-M5A (r = −0.475). On multivariable linear regression analysis, TUG time had a relatively strong correlation with the talo-1st metatarsal angle (β = 0.452), and was negatively correlated with calcaneal pitch angle (β = −0.326). Ankle joint destruction was also correlated with TUG time (β = 0.214). Development of structural problems or conditions in mid-hindfoot, especially flatfoot deformity, were related with decreased physical activity in RA patients. Wearing an insole (arch support) as a preventative measure and short foot exercise should be considered from the early phase of deformity/destruction in the mid-hindfoot in the management of RA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the talonavicular joint is commonly involved and midfoot collapse can lead to progressive flattening of the arch. Despite a general awareness of the important structural role of the talonavicular joint in rheumatoid foot disease, details of its destructive pattern have not been elucidated. METHODS We cross-sectionally investigated 176 RA patients (342 feet) and classified their feet into the following five groups according to radiographic findings: arthritis (RA changes with normal navicular shape), Müller-Weiss Disease (MWD) (collapse of the lateral aspect of the tarsal navicular), flat (flattened navicular), ankylosis (ankylosis of the talonavicular joint), and normal. We compared medical histories and radiographic measurements among all five groups. RESULTS The arthritis group comprised 91 feet, 36 in the MWD group, nine in the flat group, 12 in the ankylosis group, and 194 classified as normal. The MWD group demonstrated a trend towards pes planovarus deformity in contrast to pes planovalgus deformity in the arthritis group. Corticosteroid use and the mean daily dosage were the highest in the MWD group. CONCLUSIONS This report revealed a high prevalence of MWD-like changes to the navicular in RA patients and its association with pes planovarus deformity and corticosteroid usage.

Correlation in the Coronal Angle between Knee and Hindfoot Was Observed in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Unless Talocrural Joint Was Destroyed. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:4051706. [PMID: 29201904 PMCID: PMC5672682 DOI: 10.1155/2017/4051706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2017] [Revised: 08/26/2017] [Accepted: 09/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the compensatory correlation between knee and hindfoot in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This cross-sectional study included 218 patients (407 lower extremities). Radiographs of the hindfoot and full-length posteroanterior hip-to-calcaneus standing radiographs were evaluated. The destruction of the hindfoot was evaluated using the Larsen grading system. The coronal angular deformity of the knee and hindfoot was evaluated by the femorotibial angle (FTA) and the angle between the tibial shaft and the entire hindfoot (tibiohindfoot angle, THFA). The correlation between FTA and THFA was determined by Pearson's coefficient. For all patients, FTA correlated to THFA (R = 0.28, p < 0.001). The correlation was observed as long as the talocrural joint was preserved (Larsen grade ≤ 2), even if the subtalar joint had been destroyed (Larsen grade ≥ 3). However, the correlation was not observed when the talocrural joint was destroyed (Larsen grade ≥ 3, R = −0.02, p = 0.94). The pain in the hindfoot did not correlate with FTA or THFA. In conclusion, a compensatory deformity of the hindfoot against the deformity of the knee was observed in RA, and the correlation was lost when talocrural joint was destroyed.

Abstract
Background Foot involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has been reported to severely affect functional capacity and quality of life. We aimed to determine the impact of midfoot and hindfoot involvement on functional disability in Korean patients with RA. Methods We evaluated the RA involvement and deformity of three regions of the foot (forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot) and ankle using conventional radiography in Korean patients with RA. We compared the clinical features between RA patients with and without foot or ankle involvement. Using multivariable logistic regression analyses, the impact of midfoot or hindfoot involvement on functional disability in RA patients was evaluated. Results Overall, 120 patients with a median age of 48.0 [interquartile range (IQR), 37–56] years and median disease duration of 58.0 (IQR, 10–89) months were included. The prevalence of foot or ankle RA involvement was 74 (61.7%). The number of patients with forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle involvement was 32 (43.2%), 24 (32.4%), 46 (62.2%) and 4 (5.4%), respectively. Compared to patients without foot or ankle involvement those with such involvement had greater disease activity and functional disability, more of them were treated with biologic agents, and they had a lower health-related quality of life. After adjusting for potential confounders, hindfoot involvement was associated with a higher degree of functional disability. However, walking difficulty was more associated with midfoot involvement rather than with involvement in other regions. Conclusions In Korean patients with RA, hindfoot involvement is associated with functional disability and midfoot involvement affects walking.

Abstract
Hallux deformities other than hallux valgus, especially those in the sagittal plane, have not yet been elucidated in the feet of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The objectives of the present study were to classify rheumatoid arthritis hallux deformity in both the horizontal and the sagittal planes and investigate its relationship with flatfoot. Using a cross-sectional study design, we assessed patients with rheumatoid arthritis (527 feet in 274 patients) using radiographs and classified the deformity patterns of the great toes using cluster analysis. Of the 274 patients, the range of motion in the metatarsophalangeal joint was clinically investigated in 44 (16.1%) patients. The great toes could be divided into 5 clusters according to the characteristic configuration as follows: cluster I (normal type), cluster II (hallux valgus type), cluster III (boutonniere type), cluster IV (boutonniere with hallux valgus type), and cluster V (swan-neck type). Radiographic measurements revealed the characteristic deformities of each cluster, including splayed foot for cluster II; flat foot, metatarsal primus elevatus, and plantar displacement of the proximal phalanx for cluster III; and a mixture of these characteristics for cluster IV. Plantar displacement of the proximal phalanx, which was a specific characteristic of the boutonniere deformity, correlated significantly with the decreased dorsiflexion in the metatarsophalangeal joint. Our classification method revealed the relationship of hallux deformity in the sagittal plane to flatfoot and also demonstrated the usefulness of measuring basal phalanx displacement in predicting the range of motion of the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prevalence of hallux varus deformity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported to be extremely rare. However, in South Asian Countries, where open-toed shoes are habitual footwear for the majority of people, we have found that hallux varus is a common deformity in patients with RA. This rate of occurrence is much more common than that in published hallux deformities in RA and reinforces the impact of footwear on the development of hallux deformities. In this report, we present 3 illustrative cases of hallux varus developed in patients with RA and review the etiology of hallux varus deformity. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, Level IV: Case Study.

Abstract
Objective To investigate clinical and radiological differences between joint destruction in the wrist and the feet in patients with RA. Methods A cross-sectional clinical study was conducted in an RA cohort at a single institution. Clinical data included age, sex and duration of disease. Laboratory data included sero-positivity for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody and RF. Radiological measurements included Larsen grades and the modified Sharp/van der Heijde method (SHS) for the hands/wrists and the feet. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal—Wallis H-test, a dummy variable linear regression model and multivariate logistic regression analysis with 95% confidence interval and odds ratios. Results A total of 405 patients were enrolled, and 314 patients were analysed in this study. The duration of disease in the foot-dominant group was significantly less than that in the wrist-dominant group. When patients were subdivided by duration of disease, the Larsen grade of the feet was significantly higher than that of the wrist in the first quadrant subgroup, but this was reversed with increasing duration of disease. Anti-CCP status was a significant predictive factor for joint destruction in the wrist but not in the feet, while RF status was not predictive in either the wrist or the feet. Conclusions Joint destruction in the feet started earlier than in the wrist, but the latter progresses faster with increasing duration of disease. Anti-CCP status predicts joint destruction in the wrist better than in the feet.

Abstract
We report the case of a 56-year-old female with mutilating rheumatoid arthritis, who developed severe pes planovalgus. The foot was successfully reconstructed through a combination of osteotomies, including medial displacement of the talus accompanied by resection of the medial malleolus. This maneuver enabled a ∼1-cm medial displacement of the hindfoot while minimizing the adverse effect on forefoot rotation.
