Abstract
Hallux rigidus (HR) is arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.First metatarsophalangeal joint hemiarthroplasty surgery is one of the treatment options for end stage hallux rigidus.The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of hemiarthroplasty of the first MTPJ with a metallic implant in patients with end-stage HR. Patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty surgery with the diagnosis of HR were included in the study. Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire (SAFE-Q) and Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) scores were used in pre-operative and post-operative final follow-ups to evaluate the clinical status of the patients. Post-operative 1st metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion was measured and recorded separately for each patient. The intra-hospital and follow-up complications and revision surgeries of the patients were recorded. Thirty-five patients with a mean follow-up of 8.1 years were included in the study. There was a statistically significant positive change in both FADI and SAFE-Q scores compared to the pre-operative process(p = 0.0001). The average dorsiflexion angle at the final follow-up was 22.0 ± 8.2. Thus, it was determined that the 5-year and 8-year survival rates of patients in this study were 97.1% and 87.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the long-term results show that the use of hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of end-stage HR leads to high patient satisfaction, increased range of motion and a high survival rate.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus is the most frequent arthritis of the foot, due to multiple factors. Arthrodesis and interposition arthroplasty are treatments considered in advanced stages of the disease, when conservative treatment has failed. Although arthrodesis may be considered the technique recommended by multiple authors, for patients in whom joint mobility is to be preserved, arthroplasty could represent a reliable alternative. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate and compare the clinical outcomes and complications of arthrodesis and interposition arthroplasty for moderate and severe stages of hallux rigidus. METHODS For this systematic review we searched COCHRANE, EMBASE, PUBMED databases. Twenty-six research papers were obtained, with a total of 1348 feet, which were included for qualitative analysis. The following groups were included: Cartiva hemiarthroplasty (286), double stem silicone arthroplasty (276), total metallic arthroplasty (394) and arthrodesis (392). RESULTS In the arthrodesis group, the AOFAS-HMI score was the most used, ranging from 36 to 45 in the preoperative period and from 79 to 89 in the postoperative period. The greatest improvement in the VAS PAIN score was from 86 to 4. The fusion rate was 98.6% of the total number of cases, the most frequent complication was pain due to material discomfort. In the total metallic arthroplasty group, the ROTO-GLIDE system reported an AOFAS score of 95 points, with low complication rates; but, with the TOEFIT-PLUS and BIOMED-MERCK systems, despite the good postoperative value, they report 37% and 15% revision due to aseptic loosening in the series with the longest follow-up, respectively. The Cartiva group showed a significative increase in FAAM ADL and FAAM SPORT from 59.4 to 90.4 and from 60.9 to 89.7, respectively; similarly, 20.5% implant removal and conversion to arthrodesis were reported. Finally, the double stem silicone arthroplasty group, in the series with the longest follow-up, it manages to improve the MOXFQ score from 78.1 to 11.0, with an average range of mobility of 22.3 degrees. Lysis was reported in 10% of cases. CONCLUSIONS Arthrodesis has proven to be the best option for the treatment of advanced hallux rigidus. Arthroplasty can be a valid option for patients who demand to maintain the range of mobility of the joint; however, it is important to inform about the complications that may arise in the short and medium term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There remains no clear consensus on patient satisfaction and functional outcomes following synthetic cartilage implant (SCI) implantation for hallux rigidus. The purpose of this study was to review our experience at a single academic institution using an SCI for treatment of hallux rigidus. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent the SCI procedure for treatment of hallux rigidus between January 2017 and May 2019. Functional outcomes were evaluated using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Informational System (PROMIS)-10 scores as well as a survey investigating patient satisfaction, self-reported clinical improvement, and changes in sporting ability. Patients were divided into satisfied versus unsatisfied subgroups, and between-group differences in preoperative variables and complications were reviewed. A total of 90 patients (96 implants) were included in this study. The mean follow-up time was 26.4 months. RESULTS In all, 81.2% of patients reported that their foot was "much improved" (55.2%) or "improved" (26.0%) since undergoing the SCI procedure, whereas a slightly lower percentage, 74.0%, stated that they were "extremely satisfied" (41.7%) or "satisfied" (32.3%) at final follow-up. Patients were able to tolerate higher impact sporting activities after the procedure, and 75.0% of patients stated they would have the same surgery again. PROMIS-10 T-scores averaged 54.2 points for physical health and 57.4 points for mental health. Only 2.1% of patients required conversion to arthrodesis. Significant differences between the satisfied versus unsatisfied subgroups were found in preoperative corticosteroid injection use (21.1% vs 41.1%, respectively; P = .029) and preoperative VAS pain score (8.2 vs 7.1, respectively; P = .036). CONCLUSION The SCI procedure can be a viable option for treating hallux rigidus with high satisfaction overall, increased sport activity levels, and a very low revision rate. However, maximizing patient satisfaction may require more careful consideration of preoperative prognosticators and extensive patient counseling to ensure realistic expectations for recovery time and individual outcome.

Abstract
Introduction Metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthropathy in the great toe causes considerable pain and debilitation, severely impacting quality of life. Traditional management options included conservative measures, steroid injections, and arthrodesis. New options include Cartiva, a synthetic cartilage hemiarthroplasty for the MTPJ. This prosthesis has evidence of improved pain and function without the sacrifice of joint movement seen with arthrodesis. However, the implant itself has mixed reviews. This study aims to identify the pre-, peri, and short-term post-surgical outcomes of Cartiva surgery and review the literature for existing reported outcomes. Methods We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of 22 consecutive Cartiva procedures between 2016 and 2022 in a single UK institution. Hospital records were analyzed for peri-operative complications, implant survival, additional operative interventions, patient-reported outcomes, and functional improvement. Results Twenty-one patients underwent Cartiva for the first MTPJ pathology and one for the third MTPJ pathology. Prior to surgery, 40.9% of patients had undergone alternative therapies, including MTPJ steroid injections (seven patients), cheilectomy (four patients), and bunionectomy (one patient). Total complication rates, inclusive of medical, surgical, and implant complications were 45.5% (10/22). Total reoperation rates were 18.2% (4/22) including two revisions to arthrodesis and two manipulations under anesthesia (MUA) with local anesthetic injection. At the final follow-up, 55% were still experiencing pain, 15% neurovascular symptoms, 10% swelling, and 50% stiffness or reduced range of movement. However, 85% of patients returned to usual activities of daily living within two years. Conclusion Cartiva surgery for metatarsophalangeal arthropathy has demonstrated outcomes of persistent pain, limited range of movement, and restricted function at short-term follow-up. Rates of reoperation and revision to arthrodesis were comparable with similar studies.

Abstract
First metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) arthrodesis procedures are a mainstay of forefoot surgery and are associated with high rates of patient satisfaction for addressing a multitude of first ray pathologic conditions. This procedure is often also used as a fallback option for the revision of poor outcomes after other surgical procedures involving the first ray. Despite its successes, there remain instances of complications that can develop after primary first MPJ arthrodesis. This article reviews first MPJ arthrodesis as a procedure for revisional surgery of the first ray, and potential surgical options after failed primary first MPJ arthrodesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Foot and ankle involvement is common in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, yet high-quality evidence assessing the effectiveness of treatments for these disorders is lacking. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Foot and Ankle Working Group is developing a core outcome set for use in clinical trials and longitudinal observational studies in this area. METHODS A scoping review was performed to identify outcome domains in the existing literature. Clinical trials and observational studies comparing pharmacological, conservative or surgical interventions involving adult participants with any foot or ankle disorder in the following rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) were eligible for inclusion: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), spondyloarthropathies, crystal arthropathies and connective tissue diseases. Outcome domains were categorised according to the OMERACT Filter 2.1. RESULTS Outcome domains were extracted from 150 eligible studies. Most studies included participants with foot/ankle OA (63% of studies) or foot/ankle involvement in RA (29% of studies). Foot/ankle pain was the outcome domain most commonly measured (78% of studies), being the most frequently specified outcome domain across all RMDs. There was considerable heterogeneity in the other outcome domains measured, across core areas of manifestations (signs, symptoms, biomarkers), life impact, and societal/resource use. The group's progress to date, including findings from the scoping review, was presented and discussed during a virtual OMERACT Special Interest Group (SIG) in October 2022. During this meeting, feedback was sought amongst delegates regarding the scope of the core outcome set, and feedback was received on the next steps of the project, including focus group and Delphi methods. CONCLUSION Findings from the scoping review and feedback from the SIG will contribute to the development of a core outcome set for foot and ankle disorders in RMDs. The next steps are to determine which outcome domains are important to patients, followed by a Delphi exercise with key stakeholders to prioritise outcome domains.

Abstract
Arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, hallux rigid, is a common and disabling source of foot pain in the adult population. Hallux rigidus is characterized by diseased cartilage and large, periarticular osteophytes that result in a stiff, painful joint. Activity modification, sensible shoes, orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications and occasional intra-articular steroid injections can be attempted to alleviate the discomfort associated with hallux rigidus. A number of surgical options exist for the treatment of recalcitrant hallux rigidus. Cheilectomy is a useful treatment for dorsal impingement pain seen in mild hallux rigidus. A new polyvinyl alcohol hemi-arthroplasty implant has shown promising early and midterm results in the treatment of advanced hallux rigidus; however, arthrodesis of the first MTP joint remains the gold standard treatment for advanced hallux rigidus because of unpredictable outcomes after early-generation joint replacement implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision or conversion to arthrodesis following metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthroplasty are salvage procedures to manage complications of MTP joint arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to use a national administrative database to characterize nationwide trends of patients undergoing hallux MTP arthrodesis vs arthroplasty for hallux rigidus. Additionally, the authors sought to evaluate demographic trends and evaluate influence of patient-related risk factors in those undergoing MTP arthroplasty revision to arthrodesis. METHODS Patients who underwent MTP arthroplasty for diagnosis of hallux rigidus from 2010 to 2019 were identified in the Mariner subset of the PearlDiver database. Patients were included if they had undergone MTP arthroplasty for the diagnosis of hallux rigidus. Notably, the database lacks resolution about critical features of the arthroplasty design and materials. The revision cohort encompassed patients who underwent subsequent ipsilateral MTP arthrodesis or arthroplasty within 2 years of index arthroplasty procedure. Demographic characteristics and medical comorbidities were examined as potential patient-related risk factors for arthroplasty revision or revision to fusion. Univariate analyses were performed to analyze differences in patient demographics, comorbidities, and risk factors. A multivariate regression analysis was subsequently conducted to control for confounding variables. RESULTS 2750 patients underwent primary MTP arthroplasty for diagnosis of hallux rigidus. Of these, 44 (1.6%) underwent revision arthroplasty and 188 patients (6.8%) were revised to arthrodesis within the first 2 years after the index procedure. Multivariate regression analysis indicates that obesity (odds ratio [OR] 1.48, 95% CI 1.05-2.09), depression (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.15-2.20), and steroid use (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.30-6.65) were associated with a statistically significant increase in revision to arthrodesis from primary arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Revision arthrodesis following primary MTP arthroplasty for hallux rigidus within 2 years was found to be a relatively common occurrence in this national insurance database study. Risk factors for revision arthroplasty to arthrodesis within 2 years of primary arthroplasty include obesity, depression, and steroid use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, case-control study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarise the available evidence relating to the diagnosis, epidemiology, burden, outcome assessment and treatment of foot and ankle osteoarthritis (OA) and to develop an agenda to guide future research. METHOD Members of the International Foot and Ankle Osteoarthritis Consortium compiled a narrative summary of the literature which formed the basis of an interactive discussion at the Osteoarthritis Research Society International World Congress in 2021, during which a list of 24 research agenda items were generated. Following the meeting, delegates were asked to rank the research agenda items on a 0 to 100 visual analogue rating scale (0 = not at all important to 100 = extremely important). Items scoring a mean of 70 or above were selected for inclusion. RESULTS Of the 45 delegates who attended the meeting, 31 contributed to the agenda item scoring. Nineteen research agenda items met the required threshold: three related to diagnosis, four to epidemiology, four to burden, three to outcome assessment and five to treatment. CONCLUSIONS Key knowledge gaps related to foot and ankle OA were identified, and a comprehensive agenda to guide future research planning was developed. Implementation of this agenda will assist in improving the understanding and clinical management of this common and disabling, yet relatively overlooked condition.

Abstract
Background Patients with hallux rigidus who do not experience significant pain relief after cheilectomy often require a conversion to metatarsophalangeal (MTP) fusion. However, it is unclear whether the previous cheilectomy affects outcomes of the subsequent fusion. The aim of this study was to compare patient-reported outcomes and complications in patients undergoing MTP fusion for hallux rigidus between patients with a history of cheilectomy and those undergoing a fusion as a primary procedure. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent MTP fusion who had preoperative and minimum 1-year postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores. Patients were divided into a "primary MTP fusion" cohort and a "prior cheilectomy" cohort based on their history of a previous cheilectomy. Preoperative, postoperative, and improvement in PROMIS scores, along with rates of complications including nonunion, infection, interphalangeal (IP) joint pain, and removal of hardware were compared between groups. Results The prior cheilectomy group had significantly lower preoperative physical function scores than the primary MTP fusion group (P < .05). Postoperatively, the prior cheilectomy group had worse physical function (P < .017) and global physical health (P < .017) scores. However, there were no significant differences in pre- to postoperative change in PROMIS scores. There were no significant differences in rates of nonunion (P = .99), infection (P = .99), or hardware removal (P = .99). More patients in the prior cheilectomy group had IP joint pain (P = .034). Conclusion This study found that a prior cheilectomy may not affect serious complication rates of a subsequent fusion, but it may be associated with worse baseline function. Overall, our results suggest that a prior failed cheilectomy does not influence the amount of improvement in function and pain from MTP fusion. Level of Evidence Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Metallic hemiarthroplasty or arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint as treatment for hallux rigidus: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Foot Ankle Surg 2022; 28:139-152. [PMID: 33812802 DOI: 10.1016/j.fas.2021.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrodesis and metallic hemiarthroplasty are two surgical interventions for the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP1) joint. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the two operations with regards to patient-reported outcomes, pain reduction, complications and revision rates. METHODS A systematic literature search identified all relevant studies. The methodological quality was assessed using two validated tools. Data of interest were derived and presented. For non-comparative studies, data was assessed for trends, while for comparative studies pooling statistics were performed. RESULTS A total of 33 studies were included for analysis. The majority of studies (>75%) reported an AOFAS-HMI score greater than 80 points after both metallic hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis. The lowest VAS pain score was observed after arthrodesis (weighted mean difference -1.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) -2.16 to -1.00 P< 0.00001). Comparable numbers of complications (odds radio 1.48, 95% CI 0.81 to 2.73, P = 0.21, favoring: hemiarthroplasty) and revisions (odds ratio 1.16, 95% CI 0.62 to 2.15 P = 0.64, favoring: hemiarthroplasty) were observed after both interventions. The included non-comparative studies seem to confirm these findings of the comparative studies. CONCLUSION Metallic hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis have excellent clinical outcomes and acceptable complication- and revision rates. Arthrodesis seems to be superior in pain reduction, while metallic hemiarthroplasty is a suitable alternative for patients performing activities that requires motion in the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

Abstract
Arthrodesis of the first metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTPJ) is a widely utilized surgical procedure for a wide array of metatarsal pathologies. This study aims to explore the functional limitations following first MTPJ arthrodesis, overall satisfaction and patient's abilities to achieve activities of daily living (ADL). This prospective cohort study assessed functional limitations as well as footwear and lifestyle restrictions using several questionnaires. One hundred and three participants who had a first MTPJ arthrodesis under the care of a single surgeon were recruited. Pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures were recorded. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) and the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire were also used to further examine functional status. Hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) were compared using preoperative and postoperative weightbearing radiographs and successful fusion was recorded. Complications were documented and are discussed in detail. The duration of follow-up was more than 12 months. There was one nonunion in the cohort while 2 patients experienced delay to fusion. Approximately 97% of patients were very satisfied with the procedure and their ability to achieve ADLs post operatively. A further 82.5% of patients were able to return to wearing nonadaptive footwear. The mean reduction in HVA and IMA was 21.78° and 6.84°, respectively. This study demonstrates the safe and successful use of a compression screw/locking plate construct for arthrodesis of the first MTPJ. Furthermore, the study provides clear evidence of high levels of functionality after the procedure with statistically significant differences (p value <.05) in all 4 facets of the AOFAS questionnaire as well as several notable differences in activity levels and footwear restrictions pre and postoperatively.

Abstract
Surgical management of hallux rigidus using a polyvinyl alcohol synthetic cartilage implant has gained popularity among foot and ankle surgeons. Although uncommon, appropriate diagnosis and management of a periprosthetic implant infection is critical in limiting morbidity. We present a case report and staged technique for converting a first metatarsal synthetic cartilage hemiarthroplasty to arthrodesis in the setting of a periprosthetic joint infection.

Abstract
We present a new arthroplasty concept for the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP1) involving the HAPY® pyrocarbon interposition implant. This is a spherical implant that does not integrate into bone. Instead, the goal is to achieve gliding of the implant on the bone/cartilage to maintain the function and mobility of the MTP1 joint. We describe the surgical technique used for its implantation. Since the implant is not anchored into bone, it is stabilized in a spherical cavity hollowed out in the metatarsal head. In a preliminary study of 22 cases with a mean follow-up of 36 (20-79) months, the mean AOFAS score improved from 64 (35-72) preoperatively to 91 (47-100) postoperatively (p<0.05). At the final assessment, no subchondral cyst or osteolysis was visible.

Abstract
The number of patients with degenerative joint pathology is steadily increasing. Arthrosis of the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint (hallux rigidus) is no exception, it occurs in 20-35 % of young and working people who lead a mobile lifestyle and is manifested by a symptom complex, including pain and a significant restriction of the function of the entire lower limb. The leading cause of the pathology development is degenerative-dystrophic changes in the joint, leading to pain syndrome and restriction of movement. Today, there are a large number of treatment options, both conservative and surgical. The choice of a specific surgical intervention from the entire variety of options is a difficult task, it is strictly individual and requires consideration of various clinical manifestations of the disease and a number of other factors. So, if 10 years ago arthrodesis was considered a gold standard for the HR treatment, today most authors recommend organ-sparing treatment, in particular, shortening osteotomies of the metatarsal bone with a possible use of scaffolds for the regeneration of articular cartilage. The article analyzes the main results of the HR surgical treatment presented in the publications of national and foreign specialists. In some cases, our own recommendations on the choice of the method are suggested.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus can be treated with a proximal hemiarthroplasty (HemiCAP®) to preserve the motion in the first metatarsophalangeal joint and reduce pain. This study examines the functionality, and survival rates of HemiCAP® implants, with or without a dorsal flange. One hundred and five patients were treated with a HemiCAP® (N = 116 HemiCAPs®) between 2006 and 2014. Revision rates, arthrosis score, hallux valgus (HV), intermetatarsal (IM), distal metaphyseal articular angle (DMAA), visual analog scale (VAS) (1-10 points), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) MTP-IP (AOFAS 0-100 points), SF-12, range of motion (ROM), and radiographs were analyzed pre- and postoperatively. Statistics: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox-regression, and paired t tests. At 2, 4, and 6 years, the implant survival was 87%, 83%, and 81%, respectively. All revised due to pain. Dorsal flange, gender, arthrosis, HV, IM, and DMAA did not influence the results. At the mean 5-year follow-up (n = 47) median (range) dorsal ROM was 45° (10°-75°), AOFAS was mean 87.2 ± 10.8, VAS was 2 ± 1.6, and SEFAS was 42 ± 6 points. The dorsal flange made no significant difference for ROM or patient-reported outcome measures compared to the HemiCAP® with no dorsal flange. Twenty-three patients with preoperative data were re-examined, and preoperative dorsal ROM mean difference (confidence interval [CI]) increased 20.7° (13.9°-27.4°), VAS decreased with a mean difference (CI) of -4.7 (-5.8 to 3.5), and AOFAS increased with a mean difference (CI) 26.2 (20.2-32.2) (for all p < .001). The 6-year survival rate of the HemiCAP® implant was 81%. The design change to dorsal flange was not evident clinically. Unrevised patients had significantly less pain, greater ROM, and better foot and ankle function than preoperatively.

Abstract
Introduction First metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthroplasty has a high failure rate due to aseptic loosening, which leads to bone loss. The salvage procedure is conversion to an arthrodesis, but bone loss can make obtaining screw fixation difficult. Herein, we report a unique case of revision first-metatarsal arthrodesis without the use of hardware after a failed arthroplasty. Case Report A 60-year-old women presented to us with first MTPJ pain in the setting of failed arthroplasty. We performed an arthrodesis; however, intraoperatively, hardware fixation could not be obtained due to bone loss. We utilized allograft bone struts to maintain first ray length and to hold the correct hallux position during arthrodesis maturation. Conclusion Bone loss is a frequently encountered problem in revision surgery to a first MTPJ arthrodesis. An arthrodesis can be obtained without the use of hardware in scenarios where bone loss precludes screw fixation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The two year results of a multi-centre clinical trial were examined to evaluate surgical treatment of hallux rigidus using a novel, bi-phasic, biodegradable, and cell-free aragonite-based scaffold (Agili-C™, CartiHeal Ltd, Israel). METHODS Twenty patients with moderate-to-severe hallux rigidus were recruited. After thorough metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ-1) debridement, the scaffolds were implanted into the defect centre. Eight patients received concomitant osteotomy. Treatment outcome was followed clinically (Pain VAS, FAAM-ADL, FAAM-Sport, AOFAS-HMIS, maximum active range of extension ROM-EXT, and flexion ROM-FLEX), and by medical imaging, at six month intervals for two years. Adverse events were recorded throughout the study follow-up period. RESULTS Significant clinical improvement over time was observed in all evaluated parameters (screening to final evaluation averages: Pain VAS 59 to 26, FAAM-ADL 57 to 77, FAAM-Sport 39 to 66, AOFAS-HMIS 51 to 81, ROM-EXT 18° to 36°), except for ROM-FLEX. Radiographs showed stable MTPJ-1 width over the two years in 17/18 cases (94%). MRI demonstrated progressive implant biodegradation, coupled with articular cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration, with a repair tissue defect fill of 75-100% in 14/17 (82%) subjects at their final visit. Revision surgery with implant removal was performed in two patients. CONCLUSION Bi-phasic, osteochondral, biodegradable, aragonite-based scaffold demonstrated positive clinical outcome and a good safety profile in the treatment of medium-to-advanced hallux rigidus. According to the medical imaging, this implant has the potential to restore the entire osteochondral unit of metatarsal head.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metatarsophalangeal joint is an important joint for daily weight-bearing walking. Osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis of the metatarsal head, rheumatoid arthritis can often cause the destruction of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint, leading to pain, limited joint movement and toe deformities, severely affecting the forefoot function. The purpose of this study is to report the results of middle-long term follow-up after performing Swanson double-stem silicon implant arthroplasty in patients with diseases of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint. METHODS From January 2010 to October 2015, 21 patients with 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint replacement were performed with Swanson double-stem silicone prosthesis. In the study, 16 cases were successfully followed up, 2 men and 14 women with an average age (66.7±5.5) years. There were 9 cases diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, 5 cases with severe osteoarthritis and 2 cases with osteochondrosis of the metatarsal head. The American Association of foot and ankle surgery Maryland foot scoring system and visual analogue score (VAS) were used to evaluate the walking function, metatarsophalangeal joint mobility and pain degree before and after surgery. RESULTS The follow-up time ranged from 17 months to 5 years, with an average of 3.2 years. According to Maryland foot scoring system of the American Association of foot and ankle surgery, the preoperative score was (60.69±6.12) points and postoperative score was (88.13±5.84) points. Range of motion of metatarsophalangeal joint: preoperative: back extension 5.4°±3.1°, plantar flexion 4.4°±2.7°; postoperative: back extension 15.7°±4.5°, plantar flexion 12.2°±4.3°, the motion of 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint after operation was significantly improved compared with that before operation (P < 0.01). The preoperative VAS was (6.8±0.9) points and the last follow-up was (2.3±0.8) points, the pain symptom of metatarsophalangeal joint was improved obviously after operation. The postoperative score was significantly higher than the preoperative score according to Maryland foot scoring system (P < 0.01), the excellent rate was 81.3%. CONCLUSIONS With the advantages of alleviating pain, preserving the length and alignment of metatarsophalangeal joint, improving the function of walking, and correcting the deformity, Swanson double-stem silicon implant arthroplasty is a reproducible and safe option for the reconstruction of the 2-5 metatarsophalangeal joint. However, there is still some probability of adverse reactions and still room for improvement.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus is a common condition treated daily by surgeons worldwide. During the past decade, the standard treatment algorithm has been questioned by both patients and surgeons seeking alternatives to arthrodesis, which was previously considered the gold standard for advanced disease. Patients are living longer, and many have a more active lifestyle; thus, recreating and improving range of motion and achieving pain relief are increasingly desirable. The treatment spectrum and implant options for motion-preserving techniques in the metatarsophalangeal joint has been widened with the recent US Food and Drug Administration approval of a polyvinyl-alcohol hydrogel implant. In the controlled US Food and Drug Administration trial, the 2-year revision rate was 9.2% and all failures were revised to a first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis. Outcomes comparison of these revisions to primary fusions showed less predictable pain relief and may warrant alternative treatment considerations, preferably those that allow for continuation of motion preservation. Revision of failed hydrogel implants to arthrodesis can be performed through various first metatarsophalangeal fusion techniques or, as introduced in this review, with a fourth-generation threaded hemiarthroplasty. Excellent 10-year results with primary hemiarthroplasty supported its use as revision procedure in 2 failed polyvinyl-alcohol implantations, preserving arthrodesis for future salvage if necessary. The purpose of this report was to outline a motion-preserving technique after failed hydrogel implants and describe preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations for optimized outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several operative interventions are available to alleviate pain in hallux rigidus, and the optimal operative technique is still a topic of debate among surgeons. Three of these are arthrodesis, cheilectomy, and Keller's arthroplasty. Currently, it is unclear which intervention yields the best long-term result. The aim of this study was to assess which of these interventions performed best in terms of patient-reported outcome, pain scores, and disease recurrence at long-term follow-up. METHODS These data are the follow-up to the initial study published in 2006. In the original study, 73 patients (n = 89 toes) with symptomatic hallux rigidus were recruited and underwent first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis (n = 33 toes), cheilectomy (n = 28 toes), or Keller's arthroplasty (n = 28 toes). Outcome measures were AOFAS hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal (HMI) score, and pain was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) at a mean follow-up period of 7 years. Patients of the original study were identified and invited to participate in the current study. Data were collected in the form of AOFAS-HMI score, VAS pain score, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12). In addition, a clinical examination was performed and radiographs were obtained. Data were available for 37 patients (45 toes), with a mean follow-up period over 22 years. RESULTS AOFAS-HMI and VAS pain score improved during follow-up only in arthrodesis patients. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences in clinical and patient-reported outcome were detected between groups based on AOFAS-HMI, VAS pain, MOXFQ, or FJS-12. However, clinically important differences in patient-reported outcomes and pain scores were detected, favoring arthrodesis. Radiographic disease progression was more evident after cheilectomy compared with Keller's arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Arthrodesis, cheilectomy, and Keller's arthroplasty are 3 sucessful operative interventions to treat symptomatic hallux rigidus. Because clinically important differences were detected and symptoms still diminish many years after surgery, a slight preference was evident for arthrodesis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, comparative study.

Abstract
Revision surgeries, as well as conversions from implants to arthrodesis, can present unique challenges to the foot and ankle surgeon. Proper perioperative planning assists in optimizing the outcome of the procedure. In general, some amount of bone loss and/or shortening of the first metatarsal takes place, leading to the need for augmenting the site with bone graft or a synthetic substitute. Fixation also plays a key role in obtaining a successful conversion. A solid construct combined with bone graft assists the foot and ankle surgeon in achieving an optimal outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the biomechanical gait effects and range of motion following a proximal hemiarthroplasty with a HemiCap®. METHODS Forty-one HemiCAP-operated participants with a mean follow-up time of 5 years had plantar force variables (PFVs) examined and compared with their non-operated foot and a control group. PFVs were compared to the MTPJ1 range of motion (ROM), and pain measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). RESULTS The HemiCAP participants' operated feet had higher PFVs laterally on the foot and lower PFVs under the hallux. Dorsal ROM of the operated feet was a median 45° (range 10-75) by goniometer and 41.5 (range 16-80) by X-ray. An increase in ROM decreased the forces under the hallux. Most participants were pain-free. No correlation between pain and PFVs was found. CONCLUSIONS Increased dorsiflexion decreased the maximum force under the hallux. A mid-term HemiCAP maintains some motion. The decreased PFVs under the hallux may reflect a patient reluctance to load the first ray, although no correlation between plantar forces and pain was found.

Arthrodesis versus Arthroplasty of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint in the Treatment of Hallux Rigidus - A Comparative Study of Appropriately Selected Patients. Rev Bras Ortop 2020; 55:40-47. [PMID: 32153308 PMCID: PMC7051855 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1700815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 12/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective
Historical results of arthroplasty of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1MTP) are relatively poor; however, improvements in the understanding of the normal foot biomechanics, implant materials and design currently make arthroplasty a reasonable option in appropriately selected patients. The present study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic results of 1MTP arthrodesis and arthroplasty in the treatment of
hallux rigidus
and to present a rationale for patient selection for arthroplasty.
Methods
A total of 36 patients (38 feet) with
hallux rigidus
submitted to surgery (12 arthrodesis and 26 arthroplasties) were prospectively included in the study. Pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the functional status was assessed using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal-Interphalangeal (AOFAS-HMI) scale. Complications and radiographic results were also analyzed, and survival rates were calculated for both procedures.
Results
All of the patients reported significant improvement in pain and functional status after surgery. Patients submitted to arthroplasty had better functional results on the AOFAS-HMI scale (89.7 versus 65.7 points;
p
< 0.001) and better pain relief (VAS 1.6 versus 3.9 points;
p
= 0.002) when compared with the group submitted to arthrodesis. There was one case of infection in the arthroplasty group and 2 cases of pseudarthrosis in the arthrodesis group.
Conclusion
Arthrodesis provides pain relief and satisfactory results but alters the biomechanics of gait. Like arthrodesis, arthroplasty improves pain significantly, being a more physiological alternative to preserve the biomechanics of the foot. While the two surgical methods yielded good clinical results, selected patients submitted to arthroplasty had better clinical scores and lower revision rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome after cheilectomy and proximal phalangeal biplanar osteotomy for patients with mild and advanced stages of hallux rigidus. METHODS A total of 105 feet (grades 0-4) were treated with cheilectomy and a Moberg-Akin osteotomy of the proximal phalanx. All patients were clinically assessed preoperatively and followed up for 12 months by range of motion, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Short Form 36 (SF-36) score, and weightbearing radiographs. RESULTS This operative procedure resulted in a statistically significant positive effect on mobility of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (P = .001), VAS pain score (P < .001), AOFAS score (P < .001), and SF-36 score (P < .001). CONCLUSION Cheilectomy and biplanar osteotomy of the proximal phalanx was an effective procedure for hallux rigidus with a positive effect on clinical and radiological outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE First metatarsophalangeal (MTPJ1) fusion represents the gold standard treatment for end-stage hallux rigidus (HR). The aim of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of A-PRF in promoting union after MTPJ1 arthrodesis. Our hypothesis was that the use of A-PRF may reduce the non-union rate and the time to fusion in the treatment of HR. METHODS 14 patients that had undergone MTPJ1 arthrodesis with A-PRF adjunction with 21 standard MTPJ1 fusions were retrospectively reviewed. The fusion rate and time to fusion (clinically and radiographically) were assessed at 6, 12 weeks and at the longest follow-up; the clinical status at final follow-up through forefoot AOFAS, EQ5d, SEFAS and VAS-pain scores; the complication rate. RESULTS At 6-weeks, bony union was achieved in 100% of patients in the A-PRF group compared to 70% in the control group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.22). At final follow-up (41 months), union rate in the control group reached 92% (one non-union). AOFAS, VAS and EQ-5d scores showed similar results for the two groups (p=0.86, p=0.12 and p=0.61, respectively); only SEFAS score revealed a difference favoring the A-PRF group (p=0.04). No revision surgery or complication was recorded in any group. CONCLUSIONS A tendency for increased union rate was mainly found at 6 weeks in patients treated with MTPJ1 fusion associated to A-PRF compared to isolated fusion. The use of A-PRF was not associated with an increased complication rate at final follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3, therapeutic study, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Hallux rigidus is a disease characterized by an osteoarthritic degeneration of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Aetiology of hallux rigidus is not clear in the literature. History of trauma is considered one of the most common causes of unilateral hallux rigidus. Also, repetitive microtraumas or inflammatory and metabolic causes such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis and seronegative arthropathy can cause degeneration of the joint. The aim of this literature narrative overview is to summarize and expose the great amount of management concepts and information, including the well-codified main operative procedures to treat of hallux rigidus. This may provide current information for med-school students, researchers and physicians. A comprehensive literature search using PubMed database has been performed. The management for hallux rigidus can involve a variety of therapeutic interventions, conservative or operative. High-grade hallux rigidus represents a complex disease characterized by several clinical and pathological findings, and to achieve optimal results, surgical treatment should be chosen between several surgical techniques depending on the degree of arthritis and other different clinical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the early outcomes and complications following the implantation of a hydrogel synthetic cartilage implant (SCI, Cartiva) for the treatment of hallux rigidus by a single surgeon. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of consecutive patients who underwent treatment for hallux rigidus with an SCI between August 2016 and April 2018 by a single surgeon. Demographic information, radiographic assessment, and concomitant operative procedures performed were evaluated for all patients. Postoperatively, PROMIS physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) scores, patient satisfaction, reoperation, conversion to arthrodesis, and need for further clinical treatment were collected. Sixty-four SCIs were implanted in 60 patients. Follow-up averaged 18.5 months (range 12-30 months). RESULTS 14% (9/64) of patients were very satisfied, 28% (18/64) satisfied, 20% (13/64) neutral, 11% (7/64) unsatisfied, and 27% (17/64) very unsatisfied with their outcome. In addition, 45% of patients underwent additional procedures at the time of SCI, and 23% had a history of surgery on the hallux before implantation. PROMIS PF scores averaged 42 and PROMIS PI scores averaged 60. Overall, 63% completed PROMIS PI, 66% completed PROMIS PF, and 100% completed a satisfaction survey. In addition, 30% (19/64) underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) postoperatively due to pain. There was a 20% reoperation rate, which included an 8% rate of conversion to arthrodesis. CONCLUSION Synthetic cartilage implantation yielded neutral patient satisfaction, mild pain, and physical dysfunction at early follow-up. We believe patient selection and counseling regarding early postoperative limitations are important before proceeding with SCI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

Abstract
Implant arthroplasty and arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint are the main surgical treatment options for advanced hallux rigidus. The superiority of each modality continues to be debated, because there are few high-quality evidence-based studies, such as randomized controlled clinical trials or meta-analyses of comparative studies. The purpose of this study was to identify whether implant arthroplasty or arthrodesis is superior for the treatment of advanced hallux rigidus through meta-analysis of comparative studies. A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library databases was conducted. Only retrospective or prospective comparative studies were included in this meta-analysis. The literature search, data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted by 2 independent reviewers. The primary outcomes were clinical scores and patient satisfaction. The rate of reoperation and complication were also investigated. Seven comparative studies were included (2 prospective and 5 retrospective studies). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society-Hallux Metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal score, patient satisfaction rate, reoperation rate, or complication rate. The visual analogue scale for pain was significantly lower in the arthrodesis group than the implant arthroplasty group. This meta-analysis revealed that implant arthroplasty and arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint led to similar clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, reoperation rates, and complication rates, whereas pain was significantly lower in arthrodesis. Further studies of high methodological quality are required to confirm these conclusions.

Abstract
Fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) is the reference standard surgery for significant hallux rigidus. A number of different techniques for first MTPJ fusion have been reported. We describe our technique of first MTPJ fusion using cup and cone reamers for joint surface preparation and 2 crossed cannulated screws for fixation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the single largest series using this technique. The present study reports on a single-surgeon, consecutive series of 166 consecutive cases in 147 patients who had undergone first MTPJ fusion. The demographic data and comorbidities of the patients were collected from the digital medical records, and the radiographs were evaluated by 2 of us (S.Q., M.A.) independently to document fusion status. Radiologic nonunion was seen in 11 of 166 cases (6.6%). The mean duration of follow up was 60 ± 29.5 (minimum 26, maximum 183) days. However, only 4 of the 11 cases (36%) of nonunion were clinically symptomatic and underwent revision using a bone graft and locking plate. A statistically significant difference was found in union rates among males and females (p = .01). Other factors, such as diabetes (p = .2), inflammatory arthritis (p = .5), steroids (p = .6), smoking (p = .5), hallux valgus deformity (p = .5), and concomitant forefoot surgery, did not have a statistically significant (p = .3) effect on union in our study. The union rate of first MTPJ fusion with our technique was comparable to that of others, with the advantage of being simple and less expensive compared with the use of a plate.

Abstract
Arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, hallux rigid, is a common and disabling source of foot pain in the adult population. Hallux rigidus is characterized by diseased cartilage and large, periarticular osteophytes that result in a stiff, painful joint. Activity modification, sensible shoes, orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications and occasional intra-articular steroid injections can be attempted to alleviate the discomfort associated with hallux rigidus. A number of surgical options exist for the treatment of recalcitrant hallux rigidus. Cheilectomy is a useful treatment for dorsal impingement pain seen in mild hallux rigidus. A new polyvinyl alcohol hemi-arthroplasty implant has shown promising early and midterm results in the treatment of advanced hallux rigidus; however, arthrodesis of the first MTP joint remains the gold standard treatment for advanced hallux rigidus because of unpredictable outcomes after early-generation joint replacement implants.

Abstract
Postoperative pain is a clinically relevant issue in orthopedic patients, affecting more than 40% 1 year after foot and ankle surgery. Because of the very complex anatomy with many different joints and several motion axes, clinical examination and conventional imaging are sometimes not sufficient to identify a local pain generator. Local uptake of bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals is known to correlate accurately with sites of pain generating foci and, thus, bone scintigraphy has been an established method to evaluate these respective patients for many years. However, the specificity is rather low if only planar images are acquired. The development of SPECT and especially of hybrid SPECT and CT imaging has significantly enhanced the specificity of this technique. The combination of both functional and morphological imaging, ideally performed with a dedicated SPECT/CT system to minimize misregistration owing to motion artifacts and to enhance image quality by attenuation correction, allows an early and reliable detection of pathologic bone processes, even in patients where radiological imaging with MRI or CT is hampered by metal implants. In diabetic patients with a neuropathic Charcot osteoarthropathy, infection can be differentiated from inflammatory bone alterations (causing bone marrow edema) almost certainly using SPECT/CT with radiolabeled white blood cells and antigranulocyte antibodies, allowing an individual and precise treatment planning either in the initial course of the disease or even after surgery.
