ABSTRACT

Introduction: metatarsophalangeal resection arthroplasty is considered a salvage surgical procedure able to improve the quality of life of patients with major forefoot deformities. Material and methods: a retrospective observational study of 31 patients (36 feet) with major forefoot deformities operated at our institution was performed. Thirty two feet required additional surgery involving the first ray, most of them (72.2%) through MTP joint fusion. The mean follow-up period was 10.3 ± 4.6 years. Most patients were women (87.1%), the mean age was 74.2 ± 11.5 years. Results: at the final follow-up, mean AOFAS score was 77.9 ± 10.2 points and mean MOxFQ score was 18.3 ± 8.3 points. Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain improved significantly from 7.5 ± 1.2 points to 3.4 ± 2.1 points on average. Good clinical results were also reported on ability to put on shoes comfortably. The mean resection arthroplasty spaces at the end of the study were 1.3, 1.8, 2.5 and 4.4 mm, for second to fifth rays, respectively. The mean sizes of remodeling osteophytes at the end of the study were 1.6, 1.4, 1.1 and 0.7 mm, respectively. Significant improvement was also achieved in the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) at the end of the study. Conclusion: in our experience, metatarsophalangeal resection arthroplasty continues to be a valid choice in patients with major forefoot deformities, with satisfactory long-term clinical and radiographic results.
