Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pain is an expected consequence of a surgery, but it is far from being well controlled. One major complication of acute pain is its risk of persistency beyond healing. This so-called chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is defined as new or increased pain due to surgery that lasts for at least 3 months after surgery. CPSP is frequent, underlies a complex bio-psycho-social process and constitutes an important socioeconomic challenge with significant impact on patients' quality of life. Its importance has been recognized by its inclusion in the eleventh version of the ICD (International Classification of Diseases). RECENT FINDINGS Evidence for most pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions preventing CPSP is inconsistent. Identification of associated patient-related factors, such as psychosocial aspects, comorbidities, surgical factors, pain trajectories, or biomarkers may allow stratification and selection of treatment options based on underlying individual mechanisms. Consequently, the identification of patients at risk and implementation of individually tailored, preventive, multimodal treatment to reduce the risk of transition from acute to chronic pain is facilitated. SUMMARY This review will give an update on current knowledge on mechanism-based risk, prognostic and predictive factors for CPSP in adults, and preventive and therapeutic approaches, and how to use them for patient stratification in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of U-shaped internal fixation for calcaneal tubercle fracture after nearly 3 years of case follow-up and data collection. METHOD We retrospectively analyzed the collected data from 16 patients with avulsion fracture of calcaneal tubercle between December 2018 and February 2021 at our institute. All patients were required to conform to regular follow up postoperatively. X-ray film was applied to all cases. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) score, Cedell score and the visual analog scale (VAS) were used to evaluate functional results. RESULTS All patients achieved bone union. The preoperative AOFAS score was 26.34 ± 3.34, which was significantly different from 91.38 ± 6.15 half a year after operation (p = 0.003). The preoperative Cedell score was 31.05 ± 4.18 and the score half a year after operation was 92.17 ± 5.39(p = 0.011). The VAS score was 8.91 ± 1.51 before operation and decreased to 0.58 ± 1.31 half a year after operation (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS In the treatments of calcaneal tubercle fracture, U-shaped internal fixation is a new attempt. Through the short-term follow-up study, we found that its therapeutic effect is excellent, which is a recommended treatment in clinic.

Pain Management of Hallux Valgus Surgery Is Achieved by Cocktail Therapy. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1084815. [PMID: 36091582 PMCID: PMC9463003 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1084815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 08/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background. Hallux valgus is a relatively common forefoot disease in clinical practice. The aim of our study was to assess the role of local cocktail drugs and postoperative pain after hallux valgus surgery. Methods. A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze 75 moderate to severe hallux valgus patients from June 1, 2018 to December 1, 2019. All patients were divided into cocktail and control groups according to whether the cocktail therapy was used or not after the operation. The anesthesiologist did not provide analgesic treatment other than nerve block anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia, such as analgesic pumps. The operative region of the cocktail group received a mixture of 10 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine, 10 ml of flurbiprofen axetil injection, and 1 ml of compound betamethasone injection, whereas the control group received nothing in the surgical spot. We recorded patients’ VAS scores preoperatively and at 6, 24 hours postoperatively; the length of hospital stay and the number of hospitalization expenses; the scores of Kolcaba comfort level; and the scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality. Result. There was no significant difference in age or sex between the two groups. The VAS scores at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively were significantly lower in the cocktail group. The average length of hospital stay was 8.24 days in the control group and 3.73 days in the cocktail group. The average total hospitalization cost of the control group was ¥28285.16, and that of the cocktail group was ¥22366.31. In expenses of total hospitalization costs, the cocktail group was lower than the control group. Kolcaba’s comfort various scores and the total score of the cocktail group were higher than the control group. The total score of PSQI and all dimensions in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. Conclusion. We found a significant difference in the results of postoperative pain management except for age, sex, and hospitalization expenses. After hallux valgus surgery, inject cocktail drugs around the first metatarsophalangeal joint did reduce postoperative pain level. Level of Evidence. Level III, case-control study.

Abstract
In more than 30 years of scientific literature (1986-2021), the few published studies on the management of CPDFUs by DMOs showed satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes. Although these reports were all case series, their data suggest that DMOs, performed at a different level of the distal metatarsal bones, are an effective surgical treatment option for achieving rapid healing of CPDFUs and preventing their recurrence after balancing the pressures in diabetic forefeet. Hence, DMOs can be a valid alternative treatment method also for CPDFUs with chronic infection, ulcers penetrating deep structures, and even ulcers with osteomyelitis at the metatarsophalangeal level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hallux valgus (HV) is a common foot deformity for which several corrective surgical procedures, with different osteotomy sites, have been reported. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review randomized (RCTs) or controlled (CCTs) clinical trials and perform meta-analysis on outcomes of different osteotomy sites of the first metatarsal. METHODS An extensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and the Cochrane Library from January 1983 to July 2020. Studies were identified using the terms "hallux valgus" and "osteotomy". We included RCTs or CCTs comparing different locations of osteotomy for the first metatarsal bone (distal vs. mid-shaft, distal vs. proximal, and mid-shaft vs. proximal). The surgical outcomes included postoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, pain visual analog scale (VAS) score, perioperative complications and recurrence of deformity. We enrolled 10 studies with a total of 793 feet in the qualitative synthesis following full-text screening. RESULTS A majority of patients included in the enrolled trials showed mild to moderate deformity, with mean HVA <40°. Out of the 10 enrolled studies; six compared distal osteotomies with mid-shaft osteotomies and showed no significant differences in the surgical outcomes between the scarf and chevron groups; three RCTs compared distal osteotomies with proximal osteotomies with conflicting results, one RCT showed the superiority of proximal osteotomy while the other two RCTs showed equivalent outcomes; one study that compared between mid-shaft and proximal osteotomies showed equivalent outcomes between the groups. CONCLUSION For the management of mild to moderate HV deformity, we found no significant clinical and radiological differences between patients treated with scarf and chevron osteotomies. Further controlled trials comparing different sites of osteotomies for moderate to severe HV deformity are needed.

Xie W, Lu H, Li G, Yuan Y, Xu H. Rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy for severe hallux valgus with a new evaluation index: distance between the first and second metatarsals. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:421. [PMID: 35513866 PMCID: PMC9069789 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05356-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy has been described for correcting hallux valgus deformity, the treatment efficacy of rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy for severe hallux valgus should be further studied. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy on severe hallux valgus. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of patients with hallux valgus who underwent surgery using rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy in our hospital between June 2014 and January 2020. The parameters evaluated include (1) the hallux valgus angle (HVA), (2) intermetatarsal angle (IMA), (3) distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), (4) tibial sesamoid position (TSP), (5) the length of first metatarsal bone and (6) ratio between the vertical distance from the lateral of the first metatarsal head to the medial of the second metatarsal head and the vertical distance of lateral of the second metatarsal head to the medial of the third metatarsal head (MT-I to II/II to III distance). A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain before and at the last follow-up after the operation. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Forefoot Score wasassessed before and at the last follow-up after the operation. Patient satisfaction assessment was also conducted at the time. RESULTS All radiological parameters including, HVA, IMA, DMAA and TSP,, significantly improved (p < 0.001). The length of the first metatarsal was shortened 3.1 mm on average. The MT-I to II/II to III distance was also reduced to 1.8 after surgery and 3.3 before surgery. The VAS score and AOFAS score was also statistically significant before operation and at the last follow-up after the operation (p < 0.001). Forty-one (82%) feet in patients were very satisfied or satisfied. CONCLUSION Rotation scarf + Akin osteotomy is demonstrated to be safe, effective, and feasible for correcting severe hallux valgus. It can obtain good long-term correction with a low incidence of recurrence and metatarsalgia. Postoperative satisfaction and functional recovery of patients are significantly improved. The MT-I to II/II to III distance, a new evaluation indicator, can be better evaluate the correction of hallux valgus.
