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.

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.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2020; 74:626-637. [PMID: 33202113 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle are common, yet the cost-effectiveness of the variety of treatments available is not well defined. The aim of this systematic review was therefore to identify, appraise and synthesise the literature pertaining to the cost-effectiveness of interventions for musculoskeletal foot and ankle conditions. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for studies presenting economic evaluations of non-surgical and surgical treatments for acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle. Data on cost, incremental cost-effectiveness and quality-adjusted life years for each intervention and comparison were extracted. Risk of bias was assessed using the Drummond checklist for economic studies (range 0-35). RESULTS Thirty-six studies were identified reporting non-surgical interventions (n=10), non-surgical versus surgical interventions (n=14) and surgical interventions (n=12). The most common conditions were osteoarthritis, ankle fracture and Achilles tendon rupture. The strongest economic evaluations were for interventions managing end-stage ankle osteoarthritis, ankle sprain, ankle fracture, calcaneal fracture, and Achilles tendon rupture. Total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis, in particular, have been demonstrated through high-quality studies to be cost-effective compared to the non-surgical alternative. CONCLUSION Selected interventions for musculoskeletal foot and ankle conditions dominate comparators, whereas others require thoughtful consideration as they provide better clinical improvements, but at an increased cost. Researchers should consider measuring and reporting costs alongside clinical outcome to provide context when determining the appropriateness of interventions for other foot and ankle complaints to best inform future clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
AIMS Arthroplasty for end-stage hallux rigidus (HR) is controversial. Arthrodesis remains the gold standard for surgical treatment, although is not without its complications, with rates of up to 10% for nonunion, 14% for reoperation and 10% for metatarsalgia. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of a double-stemmed silastic implant (Wright-Medical, Memphis, Tennessee, USA) for patients with end-stage HR. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 108 consecutive implants in 76 patients, between January 2005 and December 2016, with a minimum follow-up of two years. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 61.6 years (42 to 84). There were 104 females and four males. Clinical, radiological, patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) data, a visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, and satisfaction scores were collected. RESULTS The survivorship at a mean follow-up of 5.3 years (2.1 to 14.1) was 97.2%. The mean Manchester Oxford Foot and Ankle Questionnaire (MOXFQ) scores improved from 78.1 to 11.0, and VAS scores for pain from 7/10 to 1.3/10. The rate of satisfaction was 90.6%. Three implants (2.8%) required revision; one for infection, one-month postoperatively, and two for stem breakage at 10.4 and 13.3 years postoperatively. There was a 1.9% reoperation rate other than revision, 23.1% of patients developed a minor complication, and 21.1% of patients had non-progressive and asymptomatic cysts on radiological review. CONCLUSION We report a 97.2% survivorship at a mean follow-up of 5.3 years with this implant. We did not find progressive osteolysis, as has been previously reported. These results suggest that this double-stemmed silastic implant provides a predictable and reliable alternative with comparable outcomes to arthrodesis for the treatment of end-stage HR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: A prospective, randomized, noninferiority clinical trial of synthetic cartilage implant hemiarthroplasty for hallux rigidus demonstrated functional outcomes and safety equivalent to first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthrodesis at 24 months. We prospectively assessed safety and efficacy outcomes for synthetic cartilage implant hemiarthroplasty at a minimum of 5 years. METHODS: Of 135 eligible patients from the original trial, 112 (83.0%) were enrolled (mean age, 58.2 ± 8.8 years; 87 females). Pain visual analog scale (VAS), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and FAAM Sports subscales were completed preoperatively and 2 and 5 years postoperatively. Great toe active dorsiflexion, weightbearing radiographs, secondary procedures, and safety parameters were also evaluated. RESULTS: At 24 months, 14/152 (9.2%) patients had undergone implant removal and conversion to arthrodesis. In years 2 to 5, 9/119 (7.6%) patients underwent implant removal and conversion to arthrodesis. At mean 5.8 ± 0.7 (range, 4.4-8.0) years' follow-up, pain VAS, FAAM ADL, and FAAM Sports scores improved by 57.9 ± 18.6 points, 33.0 ± 17.6 points, and 47.9 ± 27.1 points, respectively, from baseline. Clinically significant changes in VAS pain, FAAM ADL, and FAAM Sports were reported by 103/106 (97.2%), 95/105 (90.5%), and 97/104 (93.3%) patients, respectively. Patient-reported outcomes at 24 months were maintained at 5.8 years in patients who were not revised. Active MTP joint peak dorsiflexion was maintained. Ninety-nine of 106 (93.4%) patients would have the procedure again. CONCLUSION: Clinical and safety outcomes for synthetic cartilage implant hemiarthroplasty observed at 2 years were maintained at 5.8 years. The implant remains a viable treatment option to decrease pain, improve function, and maintain motion for advanced hallux rigidus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

Abstract
If operative treatment is opted for grade 3 and 4 osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, arthrodesis is considered the standard of care. However, if preservation of joint mobility is preferred, implant arthroplasty could be favored. Previous studies have suggested hemiarthroplasty might result in less pain, better function, and greater patient satisfaction compared with arthrodesis. However, these studies only evaluated short-term results (range 2.2 to 6.6 years). The aim of our study was to determine whether patients treated with hemiarthroplasty would show better postoperative outcomes compared with those treated with arthrodesis after ≥5 years after surgery. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal (AOFAS-HMI) scale score was used as the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcomes addressed satisfaction rates, patient procedure recommendation, and number of unplanned repeat surgical procedures. We also addressed the influence of the procedures on daily activities (work and sports), the influence of smoking on the postoperative results, and the costs for both procedures. A total of 47 primary arthrodeses and 31 hemiarthroplasties performed between January 2005 and December 2011 were evaluated. After a mean follow-up period of 8.3 (range 5 to 11.8) years, the mean AOFAS-HMI scale score after arthrodesis and hemiarthroplasty was 72.8 ± 14.5 and 89.7 ± 6.6, respectively (p = .001). The patients were significantly more pleased after hemiarthroplasty (p < .001), and this procedure was recommended more often (p < .001). The number of unplanned repeat surgical procedures did not differ between the 2 groups. Patients resumed sports activities significantly sooner after hemiarthroplasty (p = .002). The overall crude costs were similar for both procedures. Our results have shown more favorable postoperative outcomes for hemiarthroplasty compared with arthrodesis as operative treatment of osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint after a mean follow-up period of 8.3 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid- to long-term outcomes of metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty in the surgical treatment of advanced-stage hallux rigidus. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 57 consecutive patients (25 [43.9%] males, 32 [56.1%] females; mean age, 61.0 ± 6.4 years) who underwent first metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty (HemiCAP) for hallux rigidus between August 2007 and September 2010. Sixty-five implantations were performed in 57 patients; 8 patients underwent bilateral procedures. All patients were clinically rated prior to surgery and at the final follow-up visit using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale and first metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion (MTPJ ROM). RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 81 (range = 8-98) months. The median preoperative AOFAS score was 34 (range = 22-59) points, which had increased to 83 (range = 26-97) points at the final follow-up visit (P < .001). The median preoperative first MTPJ ROM was 25° (range = 15° to 40°), which had increased to 75° (range = 30° to 85°) at the final follow-up visit (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS First MTPJ hemiarthroplasty is an effective treatment method that recovers toe function and first MTPJ ROM, and provides good mid- to long-term functional outcomes. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Level IV: Retrospective case series.
